Can you test the return value from: response.addCookie( id); ?
If not, the only way to check if cookies are supported by the user's
browser:
attempt to read the cookie immediately after writing it !!!
If that fails, then display a warning page with instructions on how to
enable cookies....based on the browser-type.
Cookies are powerful, but very, very touchy !
