Hi Guys,

I know that SEs don't accept cookies in general. But what about the session cookie, the cookie saved to the RAM of the client?
Do search engines choke on that? Do they not accept it but keep on indexing?

Please let me know if you have any experience on that.

A search engine spider is basically a dumb text browser without any plugins - it just parses the html/xhtml etc file. It won't accept any cookies.

Thanx. I just wanted to know for sure. It was pretty new to me that there are cookies, which aren't small files saved somewhere on your harddisc.
I think you could say that SEs reject everything that is not text from a page, right?

robots can't even read css and javascript

Of course you are right. I put it the wrong way. I should have said "html tags and their inner text only".
Still hard to define as I'm no native speaker.
