So, basically you have a conditional that says if cookie is not defined set
cookie to a unique_id?
I wrote the following test:
<cfcookie name="USER_ID" value="test">
<cfoutput>
Cookie = #USER_ID#
<br><br>
</cfoutput>
<cfcookie name="USER_ID" expires="NOW">
<cfoutput>
Cookie = #USER_ID#
<br><br>
</cfoutput>
the output looks like this:
Cookie = test
Cookie =
So it looks like you can still refer to the cookie even though it has
expired and is empty. In the past with similar problems I have changed my
code to not only check to see if the cookie is defined but also to see if
the cookie has a value in it. If it does not have a value where I expect
it to be then I go ahead and give it the value I want it to have. In your
case it would be a unique ID.
Try this....change theconditional to say:
cfif isDefined('cookie')
or cookie eq ''
Hope this helps....
