Cookie availability

Hi.

If my user turns cookies off, both permanent and temporary cookies
can't be used or only permanent cookies can't be saved on the user's
machine?

Thanks,

Hi Manohar.

So, when the user turns cookies off, session ids cannot be created?

Thanks,

There is no concept of temp/permanent cookie. A cookie is a cookie, the
"temp" ones are just cookies with no expiration time on them, so they expire
when the user closes the browser. So, turning off cookies would affect ALL
kinds of cookies.

If the user disables all cookies then you cannot maintain a session between
pages. IE 6 allows users to block cookies that are written to disk and allow
cookies that stay in memory (session cookies).
