Strange COOKIES behaivor

[Guest]

Hi All,

 

I'm working on my new OSC MS2 ecommerce site, and I'm having a strange problem:

 

When you enter the site for the first time, you can a link with a session ID attached to it. On the second click on, the sID disappears, and it looks like a cookie has been created. The site functions properly and everything seems to be okay.

 

However, when I check my cookies directory I can't see any cookie from my website. I have my security settings set to minimum, and I've tried it from many different computers with the same results. When I enter other sites that use cookies, I can see immediately a cookie created.

 

I am about to launch my site soon, so I'll be very thankful if you can help with this.

 

You can check my website at: http://www.gifts-just4u.com (under construction).

 

Thanks in advance,

Eyal

The cookies dont get cached because its only good for the browser session. To view it change IE settings privacy->advanced->prompt.

Thanks dave, but how come when I access other Osc websites and check my cookies directory I can immediately see a cookie ?

Your site sets a cookie on my machine

Thank you Alan, maybe the reason that I don't see any file in my cookies directory is because the expiration is set to 'This session' ? If so, how can I tell Osc to save the cookie on customer's computer?

What are you trying to do? The cookie is saved or else I wouldn't have been able to post that image.

 

You want a cookie so that someone's automatically logged in as soon as they enter your site? That wouldn't be a good idea, what about multiple users on the same machine? They'd all be logged into the same account.

If you have force cookies to true it will send a test cookie and a session cookie, so your probably seeing the test cookie in a file.

Oh, okay, I think I got it.
