Storage?

[Palustris]

I do the Guardian Crossword everyday. It saves it as I go along so I can do it in a few goes. Question is, where does it save it? Must surely be on my hard drive and in which case there must be hundreds of them somewhere. Be interested to know where they are.
TIA.

it might save it until you are finished then it gets overwritten when you start the next one?

I don't think it's saved to your physical computer, more likely to something at their end and then that's logged via visiting IP address or some such.

I suspect that each answer you enter adds a a cookie to your browser. When you re-visit the website, the Guardian's server spots the latest cookie and calls up the part-completed crossword it associates with that cookie. (i.e. everything is stored 'at their end', apart from a cookie).

Thanks. If I go back over the Crosswords from months ago, it still pulls them up and shows the completed puzzle. There must be a lot of Cookies for it somewhere on my machine if it uses them to access their records.
Interesting though.
