Cookies security issue

27
Hi all,

I need some advice on cookies. What is the best (most secure) way to implement cookies to check for registered users with JS or PHP?

All advices will be highly helpful.

Checking for registered users should be done on the server-side. Javascript cookies is just for 'remembering' things such as preferences or to display what's new since the last visit, etc. There should be no sensitive information client-side.
