  <P>

   Apache does <i>not</i> send automatically send a cookie on every

   response, unless you have re-compiled it with the 

  <A

    HREF="../mod/mod_cookies">mod_cookies</A><A 

    HREF="#References">[22]</A></SAMP> module.

   This module was distributed with Apache prior to 1.2.

   This module may help track users, and uses cookies to do this. If

   you are not using the data generated by mod_cookies, do not compile

   it into Apache. Note that in 1.2 this module was renamed to the

   more correct name 

  <A

    HREF="../mod/mod_usertrack">mod_usertrack</A><A 

    HREF="#References">[23]</A></SAMP>, and cookies 

   have to be specifically enabled with the <SAMP>

  <A

    HREF="../mod/mod_usertrack#cookietracking">CookieTracking</A><A 

    HREF="#References">[24]</A></SAMP>

   directive.

   <P>

    Firstly, you do <i>not</i> need to compile in mod_cookies in order

    for your scripts to work (see <A HREF="#cookies1">this question</A>

    for more about mod_cookies). Apache passes on your Set-Cookie header

    fine, with or without this module. If cookies do not work it will

    be because your script does not work properly or your browser does

    not use cookies or is not set-up to accept them.
