Tom I don't know if you have a degree in computers but all info saved from a
website is because it's stored in a cookie, period.
however in certain cases you will be prompted do you want to save the info.
What sysytem are you using windows or linux? and what version?
because linux can save the info differently than windows.
look it up
A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user's web browser while the user is browsing that website. Every time the user loads the website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server to notify the website of the user's previous activity
Cookies can also store passwords and form content a user has previously entered, such as a credit card number or an address. When a user accesses a website with a cookie function for the first time, a cookie is sent from server to the browser and stored with the browser in the local computer. Later when that user goes back to the same website, the website will recognize the user because of the stored cookie with the user's information.
