Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of information that is stored on your PC. The information can be stored for a few minutes or it can be stored for years and then expire.

Our online store system does not use cookies but uses a concept called session variables. Session variables are stored for short periods of time on your web server. They help store system remember the state of what is being ordered and by whom. They vanish when session ends.

In Microsoft design, if session variables are being used, as they are ASP, then the clients browser needs to have cookies enabled. So although ASP does not store any data as a cookie, Microsoft design of session variables requires that cookies be enabled on your browser.

ASP Store System Saves Cookies

There are times when ASP will save a cookie that will reside on your PC. If you the "Saved Cart" facility when browsing ASP shop, the saved cart is stored as a cookie. You can decide how long it stays and you can delete this cookie. This is like a wish-list or repeat shopping list of products.

If you want a quick login the next time you visit a store, your customer details can be stored as a cookie. This is an option you can select if it was activated for a particular shop.

If you have a problem with your customers not being able to use the site, they may have Cookies turned off in their browser.
