I found this in How Many Cookies Can You Use on One Website Updated October 09, 2016

Chrome has no limit on maximum bytes per domain
Firefox has no limit on maximum bytes per domain
Internet Explorer allows between 4096 and 10234 bytes
Opera allows 4096 bytes
Safari allows 4096 bytes

COOKIE SIZE LIMITS YOU SHOULD FOLLOW To be compatible with most browsers, you must not create more than 30 cookies per domain and all 30 cookies must not occupy more than 4 KB of space (4096 bytes).

If you intend to extrapolate these limits use localStorage (HTML5 - local storage). With localStorage the storage limit is much higher (at least 5 MB).
