cookies: basic questions

[cmotor]

I have a few basic questions about using cookies on my site.

1. Are my site visitors automatically given a cookie when they visit my site? How do I give my site visitors a cookie. Is this done via javascript?

2. If I choose not to give my site visitors a cookie, will I still need to be concerned that they will get one anyways (like from my webhost)?

3. Where can I get complete information about cookies for web developers? I did a quick google search but did not see anything that I really liked.


Thank you in advance.
