Where does Google Chrome store its cookies when running on Windows 7?

In Google Chrome go to:
Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy and security > Content Settings > Cookies > See all cookies and site data
Or simply:
chrome://settings/siteDataIn addition to the location mentioned in another answer, Chrome also stores cookies at this location
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\It's at the following location:
C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\You'll need a program like SQLite Database Browser to read it.
Chrome doesn't store cookies in separate text files in a cookies-directory like in IE; It stores all of the cookies together in a single file in the profile folder like Firefox. However, unlike Firefox, it does not use a plain-text file that can easily be edited; rather it stores them in an SQLite3 database in a file called—surprise, surprise—Cookies in the User Data directory (e.g., %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies).
You can use an SQLite editor to view or modify the cookies, but it is probably easier to just use the built-in editor at chrome://chrome/settings/cookies.
If you want to look up the cookies from one particular website, I think that the best way is to go on given website and use the developer tools from chrome or firefox (F12 / Ctrl+Maj+i). You can browse the cookies in the ressources tab.
