cookies

using asp.net

I can write out cookies using response.cookies and read cooies with
request.cookies

If I enable a firewall like zonealarm then the cookies wiill write out but
the asp page will not read the cookies. This is if block third part
cookies is enabled. If I allow third party cookies the it will work.

If I display the cookie collection it will show a count of zero. I can
edit the cookie on the disk and see the data.

other web sites write and read info to my computer with cookies and zone
alarm is set to block them. why does request.cookies fail to get the
information back

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

Some setting for the path of a cookie can confuse the browser and make it
think that a first-party cookie is (falsely) a third-party cookie; for
exemple mixing www.mysite.com with mysite.com (without the www part) or
mixing lower and upper case for a repertory, like www.mysite.com/start and
www.mysite.com/Start (this is because some operating systems, like
UNIX/Linux, are case sensitive for the name of repertories. This will have
an effect even on case insensitive OS, like Windows; because the browser
doesn't see the OS but only the HTTP protocol.

You should give us an exact exemple of your code.
