ColdFusion Cookie questions

Hey all, Because I normally use session variables for security, I rarely use the cf cookie tag. If I need multiple variables (loggedin, fname, lname, recornum.etc) do I need to set multiple cookies or is there a way to set all this in one cookie?

You could set it as a delimited list. "TRUE|Michael|Dawson|69" Just be aware of a cookie's max length. m!ke Hey all, Because I normally use session variables for security, I rarely use the cf cookie tag.

A cookie is a string. You can put whatever you want in it, as long as it's character data.
