Personally I only ever ran into it in logoff situations. My solution was to simply have a logoff confirmation page with a link to log back on. That way the cookie gets killed on the confirmation page and when they click the link to log back on...the cookie would be gone and the security routine would work as intended.
Good to know about the CFHEADER approach as I'm mid-contract on a CF 5 project that will probably require this functionality. Options are always good ;-) Thanks Dave Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
