Set one? :)

Then check if it exists or not.

This of course will not catch those sneaky buggers who disable cookies
part way through your site just to see what effect it will have.

Cheers,

In order to set one and then check if it exists or not, I have to set it on
one page, and then test it on the next page load - In this case, I don't
figure out how I need to send information from page to page until they have
already gone to another page, at which point, the test is no longer needed.
I was hoping there might be a browser variable or something like that that
would tell right away if cookies are turned on or not. If there is not,
perhaps this is something we should lobby the browsers to get?
