wddx structs in a cookie - big no no - will fail as cookies are limited in size...
What you want to do (as you are using cookies) is turn session management on in the cfapplication. Then store you shopping cart in a session structure. As the top of each page that you need the structure, copy it from the session to the request scope (using duplicate() ). Then when you have done all of your processing simple copy the struct back to the session (using duplicate() again). Obviously if you are using anything below cfmx you'll need to lock your session reads and writes using cflock. that make sense to you?
