Default How to check if temporary (!) cookies are allowed (under Win2K/WinXP) ?


As well known web sites can set cookies provided that the local user allows it in the OS/browser settings.
But how can I distinguish between permanent and temporary cookies (under Win2000/WinXP) ?
I would like to allow temporary cookies but disallow permanent ones.

Temp cookies are "session" cookies in IE. Internet Options, Privacy
tab, Advanced button, Accept first-party cookies, Block third-party
cookies, check the box Always allow session cookies.
