Hi cricket,
I do this:

class UsersController extends AppController {

        var $name = 'Users';
        var $helper = array('Html','Form');
        var $components = array('Cookie');

        function beforeFilter() {
                parent::beforeFilter();
                $this->Auth->allow(array('login','build_acl'));
        }


        function getUserFromCookies() {
                $name = 'user';
                debug($name);   //print user
                $this->Cookie->write($name, 'test' ,true); //print   Warning 
(512):
You cannot use an empty key for Security::cipher()
                $user = $this->Cookie->read($name);    //print   Warning (512): 
You
cannot use an empty key for Security::cipher()
                return;
        }
}


in the other controller I use this functions to write and read

        function setCookies($name, $value, $time = NULL) {
                $this->Cookie->write($name, $value ,true, $time);
                return;
        }

        function getCookies($name) {
                return $this->Cookie->read($name);
        }

and this works!
I don't understand why in the UsersController it doesn't works!

Thank you
bye
