Hi

What are the maximum no of cookies allowed in the web application in .net.

Can I find the explanation anywhere?

The number of cookies is not limited by ASP.NET.
It is controlled by the browsers, per the W3C's 2109 RFC.

Browser Cookie restrictions

Browsers place restrictions on the number of cookies that can be held at any one time.

The restrictions are:
a.. 20 cookies maximum per domain.
b.. 4096 bytes per cookie description.
c.. 300 cookies overall maximum.

RFC 2109 says at least these maximums.
Netscape's specification and browsers say at most these maximums.

There is now a pref in Mozilla and Firefox that allows you to modify the maximum cookies per host.

IE still implements RFC 2109. I don't know if IE7 will address that.
