Check Yes/No cookies enabled?

It is possible to check via ASP whether cookies are enabled for a person's
web browser and based on this check send him to another page which does not
support cookies (ie login?)?

Thanks

yes, just write one, redirect to another page, read it. If it's not there
they dont accept them. Just make sure not to write and read on the same
page...or you wont get an accurate result.

This seems similiar to this article which points out it the process could be
ruined by caching and the fact that it uses up server resources:

Would you advise using this approach to allow user to bypass login screen if
he is present in database?

Does this solution also hold true for users whose browsers have cookies
enabled but have turned them off?

Yes. It would probably take you all of 45 seconds to verify that for
yourself, though... ;-)

Remember, it is not checking a setting, it is setting a cookie and then
trying to read it! Whether they have a browser that doesn't support
cookies, or it does but they turned them off, the result will be the same,
no?

I started off by trying to use the HttpCapabilitiesBase.Cookies Property (Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0) however it kept on returning true even when I disabled cookies in both FireFox and Internet Explorer. After a bit of googling I found that a lot of people were creating cookies, then re-reading them; obviously if they could re-read the cookie then they knew that the client's browser accepts cookies!...
