I am doing some client-side testing of IE 9 on Windows 7 and need to be able to view cookies and their associated data.
The F12 developer tools is insufficient for this task as using the Cache/View cookie information selection only shows the cookies for the current domain that you are browsing in the current tab.
Moreover, when going to Internet Options, General Tab, clicking on the Settings button under ‘Browsing History’, and then clicking on the ‘View files’ or ‘View objects’ button does not show the cookie files.
I ended up installing CookieSpy and with it am able to easily view and manage the cookies for all of the (supported) browsers on the machine.
