I need to check if cookies are enabled when you go to a login page.  I figured out a way to do it but google does not index the page.

first I arrive to the login page and set a session varible.  I then do a redirect to see if the session variable still exists.  If it does not exist show a cookie error page.  If it does exist go back to page you came from.

the only problem is that it does not index with google.  Any Ideas.  Is there a better way to check for cookies before submitting a form?

Probably should of added the code

Login.asp

'Check cookies
  url = request.servervariables("URL")
  If kep_not_null(request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING")) Then   
    qString = replace(request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING"),"&","$")
    URI=url&"?"&qString
  Else
    URI=url
  End If
 
  session("cookieCheck")="created"
  If session("cookieCheckCompleted")="" Then
    response.redirect("../cookie.asp?page="&URI)
  End If

cookie.asp

  If session("cookieCheck")="created" Then
   session("cookieCheckCompleted")="passed"
   page = replace(request.querystring("page"),"$","&")
   response.redirect(page)
  Else 
    response.write("you must enable cookies to continue")
  End If
