Name
cfcookie
Synopsis
<cfcookie>
Writes a cookie to
the user’s browser. Due to the way ColdFusion
assembles dynamic pages, you shouldn’t attempt to
use the cflocation tag within a template after a
cookie variable has been set. In versions of ColdFusion prior to MX,
setting a cookie variable and using cflocation
afterward resulted in the cookie not being set. This is no longer the
case in ColdFusion MX.
