Just did a quick check... the cookie for here should be named something like: yourname@forums.grohol[2].txt ... the number will likely be different, just look for a text file with "@forums.grohol" Also see if there is more than one, maybe with different numbers.

When I move mine out of my cookie folder (close the browser first) then open and try to come here, I am not logged in. And it looks like it doesn't give you a choice to remember or not... unless it is in the preferences somewhere else here. When I moved the cookie back I still had to log in but it remembered my password.

It looks like the cookie stores some of your user settings and your password (it is coded so no one can just open the cookie and learn your password). It doesn't look like it keeps track of your last date so the server must do that with your user data. I'm just guessing.

But that is definitely the name of the cookie to look for. Maybe just do a full search for filenames on your system for forums.grohol and see what comes up?
