Just like you don't need to get variables that come via a form submit, for
example.

PHP doesn't go and get anything. The web browser sends the cookie when
appropriate. Each cookie has a host associated with it. It can
optionally also have a path, and if it isn't a session cookie it will have
an expire time. If these various things check out, then the web browser
sends the cookie as part of the request header in a header called,
"Cookie" (strangely enough). PHP takes this header and parses it and
pulls out the various cookie names and turns them into variables. So, if
you did a SetCookie("MyCookie","Boaz Yahav"); then PHP will automatically
create a variable called $MyCookie with a value of "Boaz Yahav" whenever
the web browser decides it should send this cookie as part of its request.

> What if i dont put a directory and dont put a domain in the setcookie?

Well, you can't not put a domain. There is no option to put the domain
there. The browser will automatically associate the cookie with the
domain it is set from. If you don't put a path the cookie will be sent to
all pages on that domain.
