+   Apache does <i>not</i> send automatically send a cookie on every
+   response, unless you have re-compiled it with the 
+  <A
+    HREF="../mod/mod_cookies">mod_cookies</A><A 
+    HREF="#References">[22]</A></SAMP> module.
+   This module was distributed with Apache prior to 1.2.
+   This module may help track users, and uses cookies to do this. If
+   you are not using the data generated by mod_cookies, do not compile
+   it into Apache. Note that in 1.2 this module was renamed to the
+   more correct name 
+  <A
+    HREF="../mod/mod_usertrack">mod_usertrack</A><A 
+    HREF="#References">[23]</A></SAMP>, and cookies 
+   have to be specifically enabled with the <SAMP>

+   <P>
+    Firstly, you do <i>not</i> need to compile in mod_cookies in order
+    for your scripts to work (see <A HREF="#cookies1">this question</A>
+    for more about mod_cookies). Apache passes on your Set-Cookie header
+    fine, with or without this module. If cookies do not work it will
+    be because your script does not work properly or your browser does
+    not use cookies or is not set-up to accept them.
