How to read cookies using VB?

I would like to know whether there is any API that can be used to read the cookies in a local system.
If there is any API plz tell me how to use it.

I don't know if there is an API call for that, but you could just open the file since they are just text files. However, in most cases, the information in the cookie files will not be of any use to anyone except the web site that wrote the file. What were you wanting to do with the information?
