For whatever reason I cannot get my cookies to be persistent. Can someone tell me if it is in my code or something else?

<%@ Language=VBScript%>
<%Response.Buffer=true%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Paco</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
If Request.Cookies(&quot;paco&quot;) = &quot;Cake&quot; Then
greet = &quot;Welcome Back To Pacos&quot;
Else
greet = &quot;Welcome To Pacos!&quot;
Response.Cookies(&quot;paco&quot;)=&quot;Cake&quot;
Response.Cookies(&quot;paco&quot;).Expires = (date()+7)
End If
Response.Write greet
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>


Any ideas you have are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

writing cookies needs to be done before the headers, put your asp code above your opening html tag and test.

Unfortunetly it still doesn't work. Any other ideas?
 
This is the way I set cookies.

Response.Cookies(&quot;MyCookie&quot;)(&quot;Paco&quot;) = &quot;CaKe&quot;
Response.Cookies(&quot;Mycookie&quot;)(&quot;Paco1&quot;)= &quot;Wine&quot;
Response.Cookies(&quot;Mycookie&quot;).Expires = Date + 7

I reference this way.

if Request.Cookies(&quot;Mycookie&quot;).HasKeys Then
test = request.cookie(&quot;MyCookie&quot;)(&quot;Paco&quot;)
test1 = request.cookie(&quot;MyCookie&quot;)(&quot;Paco1&quot;)
else
response.write &quot;No Cookies&quot;
end if
 
I just implemented your change and it works the same as the old one. The cookie only last as long as the window is open. After the window is closed then reloaded it says &quot;No Cookies&quot;
