Cookies

Specify whether Interchange should send and read cookies to maintain the session ID.

Synopsis

This is a Yes or No directive.  The default is Yes.

Scope

This directive is only available for use in the local (catalog.cfg) configuration file.  It will not affect any other website in any way.  This directive will not work in the global (interchange.cfg) configuration file. 

Description

This directive specifies whether Interchange should send (and read back) a cookie to maintain the session ID.  This allows the user to follow arbitrary outside links, while still maintaining a distinct session.

If the Cookies directive is enabled, and "mv_save_session" is set upon submission of a user form (or in the CGI variables through a GlobalSub), the cookie will be persistent for the period defined by either the SaveExpire directive or the "mv_expire_time" CGI variable.  Otherwise it will be treated as a session cookie, which will expire as soon as the user closes the browser.
