Cookies on shared computer

When I come to this website and others, I automatically get logged in because of the cookie stored on the PC.

My question is, if someone else logged in to this PC with their own ID, not mine, would they also get automatically logged in as me.

This is a work PC and I trust my colleagues, so I'm not worried about the security aspect, just wondering really...

If, once you are finished browsing, you click on the "sign out" button at the top left, you won't have to worry about colleagues being signed in as you.
Unless you do that, I suspect that they'd automatically be signed in as you upon visiting the site if you've clicked on the
"Do you want to automatically sign-in in future?" option (under "my profile")

If the PC is running NT, Windows 2000 or XP then if someone else logs in to the PC, they get a completely seperate area of the computer to store their cookies. They don't have access to the directory where yours are kept (or they shouldn't!!). c:\Documents and Settings\MyLogin.MyDomain\Cookies is where they are stored for Internet Explorer.
