why is cookie still working when browser has cookies disabled?

[benmartin101]

It's weird, my firefox has cookies disabled, yet I am still able to retrieve the cookie.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Cookies["a"].Value = "1";
          
        }

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Label1.Text = Request.Cookies["a"].Value.ToString();  //it returns value 1
           
        }

Why is this?

have you disabled your cookies like this ?

Check your cookies enabled or using this one

If Request.Browser.Cookies = True Then
   '... Cookies Enabled
End If

koolprasad2003: I checked that site, and that is exactly what I did, and my web app is still able to get that value from the cookie.

danasegarane: It is returning true for me. I also checked the Session.CookieMode, and that returns "UseCookies".

FYI: I tried to log on to Yahoo!Mail, and that gave me a message saying that it can't log me on because cookies was disabled. So the browser is disabled, but my webapp is allowing it. Do i need to make web.config setting changes?

Did you used firefox to access the mail or automation ?

Are you debugging straight out of Visual Studio, or are you deploying to IIS first?

danasegarane:I access the yahoo email through firefox.

Gep13: I tried both ways, and the same result.

Does the same thing happen in Chrome/IE?
