Question

I’m having a problem with cookies. If the browser has cookies disabled, the cookie gets rejected. Is there a way to enable cookies on the client’s browser that is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Chrome?

Answer 1

I’m not aware of one and would be suprised if there was one – people turn cookies off for (among other things) security reasons, so allowing the site to re-enable them would be a security issue.

What you could do is to write some logic into your app to check for cookies:

First

set a cookie called 'test'; redirect the user to http://wherevertheywere?cookiecheck=1 

Then, include logic like this:

if the querystring contains cookiecheck=1:   if the 'test' cooke is set     cookies are working - do whatever you need to do.   else     redirect the user to a special page on your site explaining that they need to enable cookies to use the site. This can include browser detection to give them relevant instructions,
