Cookies are one of irritating facts of life on the Internet. When users enter the seomag site and use some feature of it, a small piece of code (the cookie) is placed on the user’s hard drive. Then, when the user returns to the site in the future, that cookie can be accessed, and the user’s preferences executed.
When cookies work properly, they’re an usefull tool for web designers. When they don’t work as they should, the problems begin. The main issue with cookies is that some browsers block and allow users to set how cookies will be delivered to them. And some source code prompts the user to be asked before a cookie is accepted. Also, any navigation that requires cookies will cause the crawler to be unable to index the pages.
How do you overcome this issue? The only answer is to code cookies to ensure that the source code is not designed to query the user before the cookie is delivered.
