You may be starting out with too many assumptions which are not backed
with a proper of the technologies. You seem to think you can us a
cookie for everything. What you really need to do is identify people
or things (taxis, phones) with a ID and then associate profile
properties and prefereces to those identities.
Fortunately understanding what you need to know has been documented
very well here...

I also wrote up some comments recently about managing data for
Profiles.

Do not concern yourself with cookies. The ASP.NET 2.0 internals will
handle that for you as the documentation will explain.
