What do you do when cookies are not allowed?

On my web site I have a simple picture flip book. I store some variables in cookies but it will error if cookies are not allowed.

Is there a check I can do in my vwd code to see if cookies were not allowed?

No but what you can do is set a cookie when they first enter your site. Then either on a postback or on the next page see if you can access that cookie. If you can't then they have cookies not allowed, for me I check if both javascript and cookies are enabled.

But I don't think its that big of a problem these days because just about every site uses cookies and if you have them disabled I don't think you can go very far on the net.

I would have to agree with the above, its rare to find a consistent internet user with cookies disabled.

If, however, you would like to store information pertaining to that user's session I think using the Page.Session property instead of using cookies is your best bet.
