Hi,

According to MSDN there is no way to determine cookies is allowed or disabled by user. The only way to find it out is through writing it and then reading it.

Check the section "Determining Whether a Browser Accepts Cookies"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178194.aspx[^].

It also has examples which show how to read and write cookies, and states:

Quote:
The Cookies property does not indicate whether cookies are enabled. It indicates only whether the current browser inherently supports cookies.
