Dear all, first of all thanks for the help. As for your remark, you are right, and I usually tend to post questions in a way that is detached from the particular problem I have to solve. In this case since I only have a limited knowledge of the cookies mechanism (in general, not only in Python), I preferred to ask for the specific case. I am sorry if I gave you the impression I didn't appreciate your answer, it was absolutely not my intention.
