If you are using a data base for client variables they also work well for
shopping carts. If you're writing client variables to the registry... no no.
I've used client variables for shopping carts with a simple CFID and that
worked well.

Yes to both questions. However, the likelihood of the user's browser
crashing is probably lower than the likelihood that they won't accept
persistent cookies. I would recommend the use of nonpersistent "session"
cookies.

Unless you specified an EXPIRES attribute, CFCOOKIE creates a session cookie
which isn't written to disk.

If you just want to view the contents of your cookies, the web
developer toolbar for Firefox has a cookie browser. There are similar
tools for IE, though I can't recall any names as it's been years since
I've used them.

It might be stored in RAM until the browser is closed, at which point
a persistent cookie would be written to the disk.
