BTW, a couple is 2 - you asked 4 questions <g>
Example, when you say "Look at that married couple", you don't look for 4

The only way is via a second page;
Set a permanent and a temporary cookie on a page, then push to another page
(with META REFRESH or JAVASCRIPT) and check for their existance

Not fantastic ammounts - I prefer to use them as a reference to a database
entry, then you can store whatever you want!

It's a variable, so you can do whatever you want with them...

People sometimes have their cookies set to "Choose" - if they do, then you
might get them, but then again, you might not...
