gizmola Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It doesn't. Cookies are associated with the browser, so there's no concept of user. The system has no way of knowing if you are sitting at your computer, get up and someone else sits down in your chair.

Wolphie Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The cookie value would be over-written with the new users login details. For example one user logs in as "test1", the nickname cookies value is now "test1". If that user logs out, and a different user named "test2" logs in, then that cookie would be over-written with "test2". Although, when a user logs out, the cookie information should be deleted any way and then set again if a login occurs.
