[Zope] newbie Cookies vs something

[Pavlos Christoforou]

Hi Bryan

Cookies are easy to use in Zope. They are actually automatically
available in your DTML namespace. Just try to access them like normal
variables.

To set cookies use:

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie(<cookie name>,<cookie 
value>,expires=<date>,path='/')">

If you want to automate this and store more complex data structures on the
server site, use SQLSession or FSSession, available from the Zope site.
