Normally, cookies are managed by the application. It is not always that simple because of path and expiration. You can have a lot of cookies grabbed from one or even several URL while redirecting. So you should really write some manager code to have cookies somewhat persistant. That's why the event pass the cookie thru an event and do not store it in the component.
Note that you can derive your own HTTP component from ICS component and add the storage or manager you like. In my opinion, it is better to write a separate class for cookie management and link that class to your HTTP component. A cookie manager component would be a nice addon to ICS :-) -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
