I like the idea of an
enabled
property for cookies as I do this check myself, but this implementation has a few flaws:navigator.cookiesEnabled
always returns true in IE9document.cookie
test
value is left in the user's cookies if a test succeeds. If you need to check if cookies are enabled, you probably want to check on every load.The suggested replacement uses
$.cookie
s internal methods for setting a cookie, checking to see if it is set, then removing it again when finished.
