Thanks, Dave.
Since I wasn't accessing cookie variables I figured it really didn't
matter whether or not cookies were being set, but I guess I was wrong.
(Well, what do you know...first time I've experienced that! ;o)
I really don't make use of client variables in my apps, so if I
just use SessionManagement = "Yes" and either don't put
anything about ClientManagement in the CFAPPLICATION tag
or set ClientManagement = "No", would that prevent cookies from
being introduced into the registry and complicating my site management?
