cookie cache
The BlackBerry Browser respects cache control directives, such as Expires, Max-Age, and Cache-Control, that web servers can
send in responses. Whenever possible, the browser loads requested content from the cache to help reduce network activity.
The pushed content cache and cookie cache are saved in persistent storage, so that content and cookies are maintained when
the BlackBerry device is turned off. The user can clear these caches manually using the BlackBerry Browser Cache Options.

Cookie storage

The BlackBerry® Browser maintains a cache to store cookies. The browser provides cookie support based on the Netscape®
format for expiry dates (Expires=Weekday, DD-Month-YY HH:MM:SS GMT).
The cookie cache is saved in persistent storage, so cookies remain in the cache after the BlackBerry Browser session closes and
when the BlackBerry device is turned off. However, cookies might be removed before the expiry date if the user manually clears
the cookie cache using the BlackBerry Browser Cache Options.
In organizations with theBlackBerry® Enterprise Server, if the JavaScript® support option is turned off for the browser, the
BlackBerry MDS Connection Service can be configured to store cookies on behalf of the BlackBerry Browser. If JavaScript support
is turned on, then the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service forwards cookies to the BlackBerry Browser so that scripts can access
them.
