A question about cookies

[Alonik]

In a Microsoft website it says: "(Cookie) is essentially your identification card, and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to you."

Now my question is, how come only the server that gave me the cookie can read it, how come other servers cant read my cookies, how do they read their own only??

Any ideas?

This is very important for me to know since it is for school and my teacher would have been very pleased if I knew the answer.  ::)

So please share your thoughts and ideas.

Thanks in advance
Alon

Chocolate Chip cookies are cool as well, I bite the choc bits out first..... ...!
