That's correct.... settings are saved as cookies so that each user who
views the document will have their own set of option selections that
persist across browser sessions.

While all browsers keep separate cookies for different http:// URLs
(i.e., domain *and* path/filename), some browsers treat all file://
URLs as being from the same domain, and thus they share the same
"cookie space".

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CookieManagerPlugin

provides a compact form lets you view, edit, delete or "bake"
cookies.  "Baking" the cookies will create a tiddler named
[[CookieJar], tagged with systemConfig, containing generated
javascript assignments statements that set TW internal values
corresponding to the stored cookies.

If you change settings during a session and want those new values to
persist, you will need to "bake cookies" again so the current settings
can be perserved in the [[CookieJar]].

Note: cookie-based settings are still set and read in by the TW core
but are *ignored* because the [[CookieJar]] settings override the
cookie-based values during startup.

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CookieSaverPlugin

extends the CookieJar functionality to *automatically* preserve cookie-
based settings as javascript assignments.  Using CookieSaverPlugin,
you can also selectively block specified settings from being saved,
either in the CookieJar, or as actual browser-based cookies.  This can
be useful when you want a document to use its default settings each
time it is opened.
