Remarks
Cookies created by this function without an expiration date are stored in memory and are available only in the same process that created them. Cookies that include an expiration date are stored in the windows\cookies directory.
Creating a new cookie might cause a dialog box to appear on the screen if the appropriate registry value, AllowCookies, is set. There is no way to change the registry value from a WinInet function in Windows CE.
