Urban legend ...
'Spyware' could be a trojan horse, which monitors your harddrive, and sends
stuff to a server on the net ...
it has nothing to do with your browser

The server doesn't look anywhere !
The browser stores cookies in a file. (all cookies in the same file)
If a server requests a cookie, than the browser looks for it in its file.
The problem with arachne is IMHO the _HARD_limit of some buffers.
(which sure comes from memory minimalization because of the 640 K limit.
this is where a DJGPP version would help ... not because of the 32 bit
