Hi guys, Not sure if I am missing a basic ASP.NET concept here, but is there a concept of server-side cookies. I know how a HTTPCookie is created on server and sent to client. But are server-side cookies something which allow to use cookies even if the client disables cookies?

Alternatives for storing data on the server exist. I use session state. Stores information on the server regarding the current user

ASP.NET has a concept of the session object. It should store a small bit of information whether or not the user has cookies enabled.

Yup that is the way to go. A colleague of mine just approached me and asked if I knew about server-side cookies and I had a big question mark on my face. I do not think the term "server-side cookie" makes sense at all :).

agreed, what would server side cookies be for? how could you link them with the current user?
