问题:

I created an HTML file on my desktop and added some JavaScript to set and clear cookies.

Now my question is, will the cookie be saved in my browser? Can I read it back?

if Yes,

For which domain will it be saved?
How can I see it in Google Chrome? (HTML run on Chrome)

Unfortunately some browsers including Google Chrome do not store cookies from local web pages:

Why does Chrome ignore local jQuery cookies?

Firefox has great developer plugins for cookie management, which report their domains, access paths and expiry:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firecookie/ (Personal Favourite - Requires FireBug)

For local development purposes you can setup a development domain like "localhost" or "myfakedomain.com" and run your files on a local server.

If you're running the 'site' on a local webserver then it should be stored in your browser under 'localhost'. If however you're just opening a static HTML file Chrome will not store the cookie.

In Chrome you can use the Chrome Developer Tools and look under the 'Resources' tab.
