Something about cookies in general:  I'm bothered by cookies and so
I made my cookies file a symbolic link to /dev/null.  This works perfectly
with Zope but you can't relay on reading out cookies for sure.
By the way, several sites which claim to require cookies work with
this settings and I do not have to clean up regularly my cookies file :).

Kind regards
