There are a lot of cookies being used in WWF. My current count is 8 different cookies (including session variables). Since the cookies are either session variables, permanent (lasting one year) or temporary (ending with the session), why not combine them into 3 cookies which contain the login information (which can be temp or perm), all permanent cookies, and all temporary cookies. This would reduce the cookies by 5.

Also would it be possible to add the cookie names as a configuration variable, so that the cookies can be more easily integrated with sites that already use cookies?Not just allowing the user to give a cookie prefix, but allowing the user to name the cookie.

I may build a MOD if there is any interest in consolidating the current cookies.
