Has anyone else had a problem with having too many cookies, pretty much to the point where some cookies are not set?

The browser only seems to block some but I cut the amount of cookies I used and it worked (Stored some that had been blocked). I stored the character stats for my rpg but I worked it out and fixed it. I cant say why it wasnt working other than I had to many cookie variables.too many cookies? theres no such thing.

from the CodeIgniter user guide:
"Cookies can only hold 4KB of data, so be careful not to exceed the capacity."
side note: just exactly how much information were you storing on your cookies?!? 4kb is plenty
A ton! Probably about 20-30 variables.

I'm assuming the storing of stats is only while the user is playing, which makes sense because cookie data is quicker to access than making a db query.
but even so, why not use $_SESSION vars instead?
