Unfortunately some browsers including Google Chrome do not store cookies from local web pages:
Firefox has great developer plugins for cookie management, which report their domains, access paths and expiry:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/view-cookies/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firecookie/ (Personal Favourite – Requires FireBug)
For local development purposes you can setup a development domain like “localhost” or “myfakedomain.com” and run your files on a local server.
