agree  erwan-l: 1. Yes indeed. 2. Full sentence: agree with philgoddard. 3. "Bookmark", variant suggested by Chakib, is IMHO utterly incorrect: used for URLs, never ever for cookies.

A cookie is a small text file saved to a dedicated space on hard drive. No one says "hard disk".

store cookies [at a website]


Explanation:
Generally, *saving* a file is something initiated by or done automatically on behalf of the user. A cookie is a small file. Website operators want you to believe that they keep cookies about you for your convenience and benefit, but really it's for their own. Saving is one thing, data retention another.

Stick with the more neutral term "store".

Asker: You make a good point, RK, but I decided to go with "save". Thanks (and thanks for your many helpful answers to my questions in the past!)
