ASP Requires Cookie Support

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

With all of the panicked people finding information in their cookie files, it's important to remind your users that cookies are required for ASP sites to work properly. If you have problems with users getting confused about what cookies are really for, provide a page on your site that explains how cookies work and how the information in them is so the server can tell one user from another. Be sure to emphasize that the server doesn't care about details about a user -- just the fact that one user is different from another. This should help alleviate any fears your users might have. Of course, if you are doing something different with cookies on your site, be sure to disclose that, as well.
