ASP - does not create cookies

[lilboi]

Hi guys!

I got a very weird problem... I've created a login page that creates a cookie to keep track of ur login. Anyways, it used to work and now when I tried it, I can see that it's not creating any cookies for me anymore.

I tried it on a different computer and it works there.

So i thought, maybe my browser's not allowing me to create cookies. I then kept the cookies directory open and logged in on other forums and found that there's cookies being created without any problem. So what's stopping my page from creating cookies?

Response.cookies("ev.com")("rid") = rid
Response.cookies("ev.com")("opName") = opName
Response.cookies("ev.com").expires = Date() + 1

thanks guys!

More information, it worked on the Mozilla browser on the other computer. But when we used Internet Explorer for that same computer it will not create the cookies.

I use Internet Explorer and everything's in default settings...how is it that mozilla allows the cookies to be created and internet explorer won't allow it?

Hey guys! I've tried it out. We lowered the security level from the default "Medium" down to "Low" on internet explorer and that's when it allowed my site to create a cookie.

My question is....what sets my cookies apart from the other cookies that was created when it was in Medium settings? How can I change my cookie's settings?

Also, i'm running the website off my own webserver.

IE will always accept cookies from localhost.

Go to
Tools/InternetOptions/Privacy/Advanced. Note that the message says "choose how cookies are handled IN THE INTERNET ZONE".

so you can set the appropriate settings...

There is a good description at the following link on what cookies are allowed at each of the general security levels:

And to guess ahead, this link appears to have some good info on how to create Compact Privacy Policies if your so inclined:

thanks to the both of you for pointing me to the right direction.

It's got to do with P3P. I'm going to try to set it up.
