When to use Request.Cookies over Response.Cookies?

Question

Do I use response when at a page event (e.g. load) as this is a response from ASP.NET, and request when pressing a button as this is a response going to ASP.NET for processi

Answer 1

In a web application the request is what comes from the browser and the response is what the server sends back. When validating cookies or cookie data from the browser you should use the Request.Cookies. When you are constructing cookies to be sent to the browser you need to add them to Response.Cookies.
