Custom Cookies in Web Application

[TimTree]

Hi Guys,

When I create a cookie currently it creates it in the standard format.

Is it possible to create custom cookies, in effec a text file designed by me in a format that I want ?

This would mean stripping out the cookie value names etc.

I don't think this is posible but thought it was worth asking.

Thanks
Tim.

a cookie is a small text file of information that certain Web sites attach to a user's hard drive while the user is browsing the Web site. To customise this all you do is add your own values to it. Can't see what else you would want to do with it?

Don't make the value too large though, most browsers will not accept a cookie if it exceeds a certain size.

Are you really certain you should do what you want though? A cookie generally only contains non peronally identifying information, instead it contains a semi-random key for identifying a user.

I think your both right, after looking into, cookies are not the way forward for this piece of work. Thanks very much for your help though, much appreciated
