Philip Valentino	Tuesday 10 February 2004 11:27:17 am Hi, I'm using Exponential 3.2 and I wanted to find out for certain whether or not it uses persistant cookies. From what I've read on the boards it sounds like it just uses session/temporary cookies or maybe even cookieless sessions? But I need to be sure because of the privacy policy that I must adhere to.

Marco Zinn	Tuesday 10 February 2004 1:15:37 pm Hi, ez3 uses the sessionhandling of PHP. That means, if this is using Cookies, ez will use cookies. If it is using URLs with Session-IDs, ez will use this. ez CAN override it. Example: We have a default 3.2 installation. This is just using session cookies (clients must accept them, but thes are not stored to disc). I think, ez stores the session key in a database for 3 days by default, but i think, this is not related to your privacy policy. When we needed a "stored" cookie (in a file) for doing an offline copy of non-public-pages, we just changed one value in Exponential's site.ini. But it's easy to find out: Just set your browser to "ask me, when i receive a cookie" and it will give you information. We use Mozilla Firebird/Firefox, which shows all cookie info, when the server sends the cookie. Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
