Thanks Neil, That's pretty much the point I'm at as well (and you are right that it's OK wioth sub domains...providing the subs are listed in the domains attribute when setting the cookie using cfcookie).
I also know there are security risks...but in this case it's a non-issue as the cookie contents is not sensitive info. Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
