Cookie blocked by IE6

[Rubèn]

Hi everybody.
I'm not an expert in webspeed so this thread maybe has been posted before.
I'm experiencing problems with cookies.
I'm setting this cookie

<script language = "SpeedScript">
Procedure output-headers:
set-cookie("Login-Id",get-value('login'),?,?,"/",?,?).

define var id as character no-undo.
define var is_group as character no-undo.

id = get-value('login').
is_group = "no".

find first ad_mstr where ad_addr = id no-lock no-error.
if available ad_mstr and ad_ext2 = "GRP" then is_group = "yes".

set-cookie("Is-Group",is_group,?,?,"/",?,?).
set-cookie("Group-Id",get-value('login'),?,?,"/",?,?).

End procedure.
</script>

And this cookie always gets blocked by the default privacy level of IE6.
I'm setting also cookies in other HTML pages with javascript and the DO NOT get blocked so I don't know what's happening with this cookie.
Also we have the P3P checked so..

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Ruben,

I am not sure, but can it be because the cookies you are setting with WS are session cookies (the other ones, which do get accepted, may be "normal" ones)?

this issue is common and not just with webspeed applications. Many web sites now have warnings on their web sites for IE 6 users and settings for IE to work with cookies. Users will need to check allow for session cookies, and better yet override the cookie blocking feature in IE all together.

These settings are under tools/options/privacy tab in IE. Its annoying feature, but MS added it because of all the security fears related to cookies. The irony, is that a majority of web sites utilize cookies.

Hi.
About session cookies, I have tried the WS cookies using the "date" parameter (Today +1, for ex.) but I get the same effect.
About the privacy, I know that if we correct the privacy level of IE6 the cookie is restricted at least or totally accepted if we put the lowest level.
But the goal is to run the website without pushing the users to change their Privacy or security level (also, your website projects a weird image of an insecure place, don't you think?).
Thank you for your time.
