No, not "are", cookies only exist where they are stored, and they are stored 
only in client/browser memory.

A request for setting a cookie or a response on reading a cookie is not a 
cookie, as then the key/value-combination can and will even be on an 
intermediate internet server or in your router memory for a moment, but I 
consider that not "are" in the sense of "existing".

<% session.cookie("myKey") = "myvalue"; %> [ASP-Jscript]

IS NOT a cookie, but a serverside command to set the http-header for making 
a cookie in the browser. The cookie only comes into existence whn it is 
created by the browser in it's memory.

No, the server is using ONLY the content of the cookie, the key/value pair.

If the value of a cookie is 2, multiplying that value with 3 is not 
multiplying the cookie with 3.
