Cookies are "Flat Text" files. Usually, if you type them to screen or
edit with notepad you'll see the URL embedded in them that placed
the Cookie.
Using "Open" on a Cookie will trigger a security warning.

I know what cookies are and i frequently go into the cookies folder
looking for candidates for the 'Privacy/sites' list.
I assume that Windows puts these 'local' cookies in the cookies
folder, but i don't know under what conditions.
Does Windows put these 'local' cookies into the cookies folder?
Why are these 'local' cookies put in the cookies folder?

Unable to say, For my use I set IE to prompt for 1st Party Cookie
placement and "Block" all 3rd-Party cookies. Breaks a few sites but
I don't want cookies placed from unaffiliated sites. Over time with a
prompt I can selectively choose which cookies to allow.
