Hey there is anyone able to explain to me how Acts As Authenticated uses cookies vs sessions? I need to know for the Privacy terms for our site. Ie; what parameters will prevent cookies from being used? A link to any official docs would be great, I couldn''t find one at http://technoweenie.stikipad.com/plugins/show/Acts+as+Authenticated Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Rails sessions are kept on the client side through another cookie, usually __session_id or something. Why not visit your app and view what cookies it''s using in your web browser? Firefox has a decent cookie/privacy section. -- Rick Olson http://weblog.techno-weenie.net http://mephistoblog.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
