After closing my browser and reloading the page. I noticed all the cookies
were deleted ! ( like I wanted them to be ).
So this means that the browser or ( coldfusion ) was not accepting the
expires attriubute that I was giving it.
According to my CF developer study guide... these cookies are called
"browser session cookies". The question now is, why wasn't CF accepting the
expires attribute ?
