If you need (or want) a lot of data stored in cookies, I recommend doing the
following:
store a single cookie with a unique id (something like
"CookieID=ajhciuy978kjn"), then use this CookieID as a key into a database
table, where you can store unlimited data for each browser. I've done this,
and it works very nicely.
Just, be careful about preventing cookie theft, if anything important is
stored.
