2. Drawback of cookies is they are less secure. For example,
if you are using windows machine, cookies will be stored in
cookies folder. So others can copy that file and paste in
his machine. So that he can login with other user's
username and password.
I have answered in this way. Next question from the
interviewer was 'How can we make cookies secure ?' :-(
Anybody please answer this question.

Binoyav what i think the reply to your answer is:
Storing the state in the web server -- the middle tier --
can solve the problem of increased request size and protect
the state of an application from accidental or intentional
changes a user might make.

1.Cookies are stored in Client side.
2.i.If more than 20 cookie variables stored in client side then error may occur "size of cookie exceed the limit" like that...
ii.To overcome this, we can store these cookies in single array. but anyway if the size of the cookie exceed the limit then again same error will occur. Only we can solve the count of cookie variable limit by using array.
3.Yes we can pass the domain details as a parameter while creating cookie itself
