I would like to list/report ( in readable format ), all cookies residing on my Win XP PC, including the applicable browser(s) for each. Ideally I would like to run such a report app from the Win CMD line and save the results to a file with a timestamp embedded in the file name. OR Similarly, I would like to scan for & backup all cookies files on my PC to a specified location & timestamped file, and have an app to open those cookie backup file(s) in a readable fashion.

I know I can SEE cookies from various apps, but it is tedious if not impossible to save and restore the cookies for a given website ( as opposed to an entire cookie file ). And it is easy to make a mistake when cleaning cookies, deleting some good with the bad.

So any backup/report/search/recover cookie tool would help any recovery process. My internet search for such a tool returns no applicable results.

Similar functions exist for Bookmarks. I would like to find such a tool for Cookies.

If anyone knows of such a cookie tool, please respond. Please do not suggest workarounds which do not directly address the issue.

Thanks, John

Thank you for your suggestion. I guess I should have searched for "manager" instead of "report". This Cookie Manager appears to do most or all of what I wanted. I'll need to send the developer a msg to be sure. Thanks, John
