Can anyone recommend any decent cookie audit plugins for firefox or chrome

I can see the typical google cookies on the site but I am struggling to find out what a couple of the other cookies actually do

What is the best way to find out what a cookie actually does?

The only thing that's ever worked for me, even then usually resulting in limited information, is to just search for the cookies' names. If it's anything interesting, there's generally a discussion someplace where people have already picked it apart as much as possible(ex. 1, ex. 2). But the reality is that in many cases, the companies responsible may not particularly want you to know what they do, so the names will be arcane, sometimes change, and the actual data in the cookies encoded.
