Can you check whether a users browser allows you to use cookies?

I assumt his test (just like when testing whether JavaScript is supported)
only checks whether the browser used SUPPORTS cookies (although they might
have been disabled by the user) ?

If so: the only real way of testing is by a multistep process sending a
cookie and then trying to read it back.

Sub Page_Load()
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
If Request.QueryString("AcceptsCookies") Is Nothing Then
Response.Cookies("TestCookie").Value = "ok"
Response.Cookies("TestCookie").Expires = _
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1)
Response.Redirect("TestForCookies.aspx?redirect=" & _
Server.UrlEncode(Request.Url.ToString))
Else
labelAcceptsCookies.Text = "Accept cookies = " & _
Request.QueryString("AcceptsCookies")
End If
End If
End Sub
