Where does Lynx store its cookies?

Question

I was wondering where does lynx the text based web browser stores its cookies. Having a look at the manual there are options on how to enable cookies, etc. but couldn't find a way to have lynx delete the stored cookies. Therefore I might have to delete them manually but not sure where they are located!

Answer 1

From the man page:

-cookie_file=FILENAME

specifies a file to use to read cookies. If none is specified, the default value is ~/.lynx_cookies for most systems, but ~/cookies for MS-DOS.

Answer 2

if you press the ? you can see the help, if you want to see a list of stored cookies press CTRL-K
