cookies issue

[Rafael Chemtob]

Hi,

I have an application that when it loads, it checks for a cookie on the
client side. If the cookie exists, it sets a variable on the specific ASP
page for certain fields to be populated.
Our problem is that some user sessions have data left over in cookies that
are from a previous user session.
Anyone ever have this problem.
Please advise if you can help me fix it.
thanks
rafael

Have you thought about scrapping the dependancy on cookies and instead using
a database enabled solution?

I suppose you are using ASP:

If you want info ONLY if you are still in a session,
use a session variable, not a cookie.

You could set the expiration of the cookie to be something like 1 day.
