Maybe I don't understand cookies correctly. When some visits my site
and logs in, they get a cookie that stores their login information.
When they come back, that info is read from the cookie and they can
log in without having to remember their id/pw.
Assume the site is www.foobar.com It works as long as they browse to www.foobar.com. If they browse to foobar.com it doesn't see the
cookie. It they browse to www.foobar.com/Stuff.aspx, it doesn't see
the cookie.
What am I missing? Do I need to store the cookie differently?
Response.Cookie s("CookieName") .Value =
tmpObject.Text. Trim
Response.Cookie s("CookieName") .Expires =
DateTime.Now.Ad dDays(1000)
The cookie looks fine - I checked it through the browsers (IE 6 and
FireFox).
Thanks,

Hi Bill,
add Trace="true" to the @Page directive at the start of the page, then
you should see details of your cookies
<%@ Page Trace="true" ... %>
Hope this helps to find the problem
Well, there can be a problem if the path is set in anything different from
"/", There shouldn't be a problem if the path is not set at all. At the msdn
states:
If this property is not specified, then this Cookie will be sent to all
pages on the origin server or servers.

Make sure you set the Cookie's path correctly. If you want the cookie to
be visible on your whole site, you must set the path to "/".

That would mean that the default value is "/". Anyway, the symptom being
that the cookie is not visible on all pages, this rather points to a
problem with the Path.

If the path is not specified, then it defaults to '/'. And I am not
specifying it. So what's the problem?

The cookie is not received. Can someone explain why?
I worked around this by adding a cache-control header with a value of

Hi,
I've been having problem writing a cookie. Everything goes ok but when I
supply the .Path property to "/" It just write the cookie when there is no
cookie present, but when I try to update the cookie (or overwrite the cookie)
it doesnt change it.
My requirement to supply the path to "/" because ASP.NET reads it. If I
write the cookie without supplying the path, the ASP.NET pages are unable to
read the cookie.

After a server created cookie is processed on the client I want it removed,

Hi,
In my website, i have a cookie that allows the user to remain logged in for
upto 90days. So I'm setting the cookie expiration time to 90 days in the
future from the time the user logs in. I've been testing my code and for
some reason, the cookie expires randomly before even 24 hrs has passed.
Yesterday it expired after 11hrs and 20mins.
Any idea why my cookie expiration isn't working?

I did try to find the answer to this before posting, so this isn't a
knee jerk reaction.
What I am trying to accomplish is to have a script that opens a
cookie, reads a value, and then use a switch/case to take action based
on that value in the cookie. I want to set the cookie manually, so I
don't need setcookie(). I see that in PHP it stores the cookie in
memory. Is there a way to have PHP just read a cookie from the desktop
machine?...

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.
