cookie naming rules?

[RA]

What are the rules/conventions regarding naming the cookies for things
like sliders and tabs?
I found that txtCookieName and chkCookieName work but any other prefix
like abcCookieName does not.

The core uses the "txt" and "chk" prefixes to know what to display and
how to handle the value of the cookie.

<<option txtCookieName>> creates a text input field, and the cookie
value can be any text

<<option chkCookieName>> creates a checkbox, and the cookie value is a
'boolean' (i.e., true or false)

Also, [[UploadPlugin]] adds support for password-input fields, which
work like regular input fields, except they show **** instead of the
actual text. This plugin-defined feature uses the prefix "pas", as
in:

<<option pasCookieName>>
