Cookies late 1994, Livescript late 1995.
Totally separate.
Both from Netscape.

They are independent. Sort of.
What follows is my rather imperfect understanding. Filter as required ...
-- Any existing cookies for a given domain are sent with the HTTP GET request.
Perhaps also with POST.
-- If the browser allows it cookies can be set by the HTTP responses from the
server.
-- I believe cookies can also be set via JavaScript. Sometimes websites will
tell me that I must enable cookies when, in fact, they are already enabled for
that website. I think that occurs when the website is trying to set cookies
with JavaScript and I have JavaScript disabled.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Cookies can also be used by server-side scripts--poke around in your cookie list
and I'll bet you'll find at least one PHP_SESSION from somewhere (unless you're
like me and do Cruel And Unusual Things to your browser's cookie system). Even
the old Perl::CGI package could use 'em.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
