Re: What are the cookies set by CakePHP automatically (cookie named "CAKEPHP") for?

You're completely right. Sorry for the dumb question, I lastly had small amount of sleep and great amount of work. Anyway, no explanation is good here.

Cheers!

It should be obvious that the cookie you're looking at is the session cookie. The hashed value it contains is the session id.

Hello.

I have following question - what are the cookies, which are set automatically by CakePHP, for?
By cookies set automatically I mean the cookie named "CAKEPHP" with some hashed value.
I do not use any cookies in my application (but I use sessions) and I wonder why is there always a CAKEPHP cookie set, after visiting the page.

The reason I'm asking is because today a law on cookies came into force (in my country as well as in UE I guess) - from now on website operators need to inform users about the fact that website uses cookie files. And also, what is the purpose of using that cookies files. So the users need to be informed of the purpose of collecting information through cookies.

I will be very appreciated for help:)
