In "private mode", do browsers store cookies or temporary files (cache) on disk?

When in "incognito" mode (Chrome) or in "in-private browsing" (IE) or "Private Browsing" (Firefox), do any of the browsers store cookies and/or cache temporary files on disk, or is it all in memory?


Solution 1:

Internet Explorer did, or least does, store the information on the disk -- in the Windows\Temp folder. Which leads me to believe the rest of them do too. To store pictures, icons, text, cookies, flash cookies, etc in the memory for each would seem far fetched.
