Scott, As far as I know, this is not possible. While the ColdFusion page is processing, nothing has been flushed to the client browser. It is not until the headers get flushed that cookies can be set. Therefore, you cannot check to see if cookies even stick until you start flushing to the browser. At least, that is what I think???

I'm working on some mods on my main app, to do with tracking user clicks and the path they take through the various mini-sites running in our app. Currently I do my own logging - various CGI scope data (including IP), plus some internal IDs. But I'd like to expand that to further be able to pull out all data for a given user (don't care who they are) so I can say "this person clicked HERE, then HERE, then THERE", that sorta thing. I'm tinkering with unique identifiers - I've added a "UUID" field to my DB tables used for tracking. I'm generating a UUID and tossing it in a cookie. In my logging script include, if that cookie's set, I add that UUID value along with my other tracking data. No sweat if cookies are enabled. But what I want to do is NOT log ANYTHING for the page views, UUID-wise, if cookies aren't enabled. The trick is, as best I can tell, the only way to detect if cookies aren't enabled is to do the two-page deal - first page, set cookie, redirect to second page, check for presence of cookie. I'm looking for way (if it's possible) to sniff that out on the one page. Right now, I can do a <cfcookie> set (and I'm doing a session var as well, as an experiment) and the values stick through the page - so when it comes to the logging include, it's saying "Oh I've got that UUID" and logging it, despite that it's a fresh UUID every page when cookies are off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 beta â Build next generation applications today.
