Just a quick question - because this is driving me insane - but most of the end users of a website I've put together are public sector/ education. Is it possible that there are group policies that disable cookies? Can't think of any other reason why cookies aren't working

One thing I've noticed, though, is that it gets deleted when I close my browser window. That's not causing my problems but it's not desirable.
I'm setting cookie domain as .mydomain.org.uk and setting expiry to 1 year from now.Comment

Like I said, the cookie gets deleted when I close the browser (IE11) but when I fired it back up again, I noticed that the cookie was there in the request so possible it gets persisted in more than 1 place. I was looking at C:\Users\Gumbo\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INe tCookies\Low (win 8.1).Comment

I've got a shopping cart that hooks up with Papal. I specify a return URL in a hidden ffield on the form..
When I capture the response in Fiddler, I see that the cookie gets passed back in theback post request back to my site but it doesn't seem to work for everyone. Even when cookies have been working for other people up to this point it seems to be here where it all falls over.
Edit: the return URL that I was passing into Paypal (i.e. the one that the user is redirected to after completing their transaction) was http://mydomain.org.ukuk. I changed it to http://www.mydomain.org.ukmydomain and it all seems to work.
Thanks for your help.Last edited by Gumbo Robot; 3 June 2015, 16:10.Comment
