Barry,
Cookies cannot access your internet history, they cannot access your browsers history. Let me explain to you what a cookie is real quick .
A cookie in all reality is just a plain text file created in a temp folder on your computer. Let's say you visit my website and I want to create a cookie for you. I run a function to create a cookie (from whatever scripting language), and this sends your browser a message that says "create a cookie". I can tell this function what information I want stored in the cookie (date, and any other information I have available from my script). The cookie is then created by your browser in your temp folder. Now, a key thing to keep in mind is this cookie is created using the domain of the current website. So let's say this all just took place at website-a.com. The cookie was saved for website-a.com.
Now let's say you visit website-b.com, this website has a script that gathers all cookies and looks at their information. When this script is run it gets all the cookies that were created from website-b.com and loads their information. This website cannot look at cookies from website-a.com. No browser or computer in the world let's one domain look at cookies from another domain. They don't let you store cookies "pretending" to be a different domain, they don't let you save data to cookies from other domains, they don't let you do shit with cookies from other domains. They aren't even allowed to see if cookies from other domains exist.
You should fucking know this. Specially if you own a program?!
