[Gmod-help] GBrowse tracks problem

[Dave Clements, GMOD Help Desk]

Hi Thanh-Vihnh,

I believe Scott is asking if you have your web browser configured to
delete cookies when you close it.  If you do then you will lose your
session identifier and the next time you go to that GBrowse instance
it won't find any cookies in your browser.  The problem is not corrupt
cookies, but no cookies.

Also, session IDs are also probably periodically cleared or aged off
of the GBrowse server.

Cookies are unique to each session.  No one else at your company or
anywhere else will be assigned the same session ID as yourself.
