How does 'You last visited:' work?

[vBR]

When you veiw a forums' home page and see the 'You last visited' message, where is that date stored?
Is it in the db or locally in cookies?
When I login to my forums it looks as I expect it to but when I'm browsing as a guest I still see it and it is way out of date.

*edit*
I really need that spell checker.
Do we have to wait for vB4?
