Check Enable Cookies

How do you check in the vb codes whether the user has enabled the option to
accept cookies in his web browser?

Thank you in advance.

There is nothing built in that does this. You can build your own scheme though.
The general approach is to issue a cookie to the browser and redirect them
to a page with a QueryString like "TestingCookies =1". If in your page you
see the query string and there is no cookie, then you know they've disabled
cookies.

This is built into ASP.NET 2.0 when using Forms Authentication and Session
State (if properly configured).

This is more of a pain than I thought it would be. I need a simple code segment to determine whether a browser accepts cookies or not. When I pass variables between pages when cookies are turned off, the global variables are empty between pages, fine, that tells me cookies store the global variables - right? I store the values in $_session and when cookies are turned on values are passed between web pages - I can see these values in fields...

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here: The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store authentication information (such as name/password) in the session. Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

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 Jason

I'm trying to do a check to see if the client browser has cookies enabled. But my code below always gives me the value for acceptsCookies = true, whether the machine has cookies enabled or not. Can anybody help me out with this? private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if (!(Page.IsPostBack))

I have tried to enable session state in my tag, but it appears to not be working. When my web service is called, the session state is not preserved. The Web Service is being called from a Windows Form control assembly. Is there anything else I need to do to have session state work in my web service? -- ----------------------------------- Ken Varn Senior Software Engineer

Hi- This is Amit from Pune. A link in an Upper Frame, targetted to open in the bottom frame as a New Web site that is it is a new web site, doesn't do so. Cookies are not enabled and hence the Web page does not open in the body of the page which is another frame.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
