Let's bake some cookies!- One of the problems on the net is that you seldom know whom your dealing with. Is it a newbie on your site, a regular guest or your boss?

Reading and writing cookies using Active Server Pages' built in Request and Response objects is incredibly easy.

This can be used to easily recognize if a user has been to your site before or used to prevent multiple entries in to forms. This example will take any input you type in and write it to a cookie. A hyperlink to the same page is created to demonstrate on subsequent visits (within 3 days) the user will see their input rather then the text input box.
