    Unless you know the values you're setting in the cookie explicitly then I don't know if you can - not sure if it's one of those things whereby a cookie doesn't exist until it's hit their browser, and if you page hasn't finished rendering then it hasn't hit their browser.

    I'd suspect you'll try it and either it'll work or it won't.

    If you're setting the cookie explicitly with you own UUID's or similar you will of course know what you'll be setting it to.

    If that made any sense.

    Which I'm pretty sure it didn't.

    Well it is the basis of the reply I was going to make, so it makes sense to me...
