Hi Gurus
What is the most reliable and efficient way to find out if the user has
cookies enabled? I know this is a really stupid question, but I can't seem
to work it out.

While I would first suggest that you design your pages where cookies
aren't required, the simplest way would be to include a small cookie
(hascookies=tru e, for example) on index.php then send a redirect header
to index2.php (or whatever) that checks for the existence of the
hascookies cookie. Then just design your site around index2.php instead
of index.php.
(if that seems sloppy, you could set the defaultindex in apache to
cookietest.php or something then redirect to index.php)
Hope that works for you.
I noticed that Message-ID: <O5************ *********@news. xtra.co.nz>
from windandwaves contained the following:

The thing is, its a two hit deal. When the user visits your page your
page can set a cookie on the users machine. But you only get to find
out if the cookie was set on the next server call, when the cookie is
sent back.

Hi,
I searched around everywhere on the net, but could not find a simple example
of detecting if cookies are enabled - on server side, and without moving
from one page to another.
This should be a very basic functionality, so I am reluctant to believe that
there's no way to simply test it in a server-side script.
Anyone?
Thx,
Agoston

I have been testing some javascript for my professional society web

read back document.cookie.
In researching this problem, I found a function on the Apple website
to test for cookies. I found that the function sometimes tells me
cookies are enabled and sometimes disabled, as follows:

I am trying to figure out how to test whether my browser cookies are enabled.

Basically, it tells me to create a cookie and test the cookie from another page. However, in IE 6.0, if I set my privacy setting to a High level so as to block all cookies, the code always returns that the...

I'm trying to write JavaScript code to test whether cookies are enabled
by writing a cookie and then reading its value. My code works fine in
Firefox, but it's not working in Internet Explorer 6. I have my
privacy settings set to block all cookies, but my JavaScript can read
and write cookies. Does this setting just block server cookies? That
doesn't seem right. I can't find any other settings that deal with
cookies in IE.

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,...
