This isn't OT I don't think. :)
I'm not exactly sure what your sequence of events will be, but the
one constant is, we can't do a cflocation on the same page where the
cookie is set.
So, what you can do is test for the existence of a cookie and do
whatever you like based on the cookie value if it DOES exist. If it
doesn't exist you can set a test cookie then have a link to a page
that tests for that.
Page 1:
<CFIF isDefined('cookie.somecookie')>
Do a cflocation or give a link to some page based on the cookie value
passing along the value of the cookie if you like.
<cfelse>
<cfcookie name="testcookie" value="yes" expires = "1">
Give a link here to a page that tests for the test cookie we just set.
</CFIF>
Test for cookie page:
<CFIF isDefined('cookie.testcookie')>
Cookies are enabled.
<cfelse>
Cookies not enabled. Pass cfid and cftoken on every link thereafter.
</CFIF>
