Web Question

• designer101

  
  Don't know if this is a silly question or not but my web knowledge is limited. Ive created a site for a client, there is a contact form using php. The client needs to have a privacy statement and part of this deals with cookies. How do I know if the contact form uses cookies? I don't really understand how cookies work are they generated automatically or are they something I set up manually

  Thanks in advance

  You'd need to go through whatever script the form is attached to, to see whether it sets/reads a cookie.

  I can't really think of any good reason why a contact form would employ cookies.

  • actually good point. why would a contact form need cookies?7point34
  • so you get something different if you have already filled it out / registered?NONEIS
  • true, NONEIS - I just figured that, in this situation, it'd not be that likely.detritus
  • I mean - if the focus is a contact form, rather than a membership sign up.detritus
