Cookies are ALWAYS stored in clientside memory [= "on the browser"].

Cookies are key/value pairs used to store state informations on the browser. 
Say you have a website (example.com), when the browser requests a webpage 
the website can send cookies to store informations on the browser.

Cookies can be set by serverside code, such as ASP-Jscript, ASP-vbscript or 
PHP, by setting a HTTP headers. Cookies can also be set by clienside 
[Javascript] code.

Serverside session-variables are sometimes erroneously and foolishly called 
"serverside cookies". They are stored on the server.
