+ <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.

+ <STRONG>Why don't my cookies work, I even compiled in mod_cookies?
+ </STRONG></A>
+ <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.
