What are the differences in cookie behavior between different browsers like Firefox and Internet Explorer?

Cookies behave differently in different browsers due to variations in how they handle cookie settings and restrictions. For example, Firefox may have stricter privacy settings that limit the lifespan or access of cookies compared to Internet Explorer. To ensure consistent cookie behavior across browsers, it is important to set appropriate attributes such as expiration time, domain, and path when creating cookies.

// Set a cookie with specific attributes for consistent behavior across browsers
setcookie('example_cookie', 'value', time() + 3600, '/', 'example.com', false, true);
