Detect if cookies are enabled

[NWx]

Hi,

How can I detect is cookies are enabled or not in client browser?

Thanks?

 

[Slipperman]

if(!IsPostBack)
{
if(Request.Browser.Cookies)
{
objUserCookie = Request.Cookies["userInfo"];

Request.Browser.Cookies determines if the browser supports cookies, not if
they're enabled.

Not sure of a neat way to check they're enabled - maybe try creating one,
and then retrieve its value.

Dan

if(!IsPostBack)
{
if(Request.Browser.Cookies)
{
objUserCookie = Request.Cookies["userInfo"];

There is no way to verify that cookies are not disable other than
creating a cookie a retrieving it.

The way this is done on Microsoft Office Online is that we have a page which
tries to set a session cookie and a permanent cookie; this page then
redirects to a page which tests for those cookies. If they're not both
present, that page then redirects to a "you need to enable cookies" error
page.
