Per domain cookie limit...

[Guest]

We have several intranet sites within our windstr.com domain. Users have IE6
running on W2K computers. From what I have read, there can only be 20 cookies
for windstr.com domain. Some of the intranet sites, writes multiple cookies.
I guess my question is, what happens when the user opens another IE window,
which attempts to write for example, 3 new cookies, which causes it to
exceeds the 20 cookies per domain limit? Which existing cookie or cookies
gets deleted? Is there a pattern to this or it deletes cookies randomly? We
are facing problem, where sometimes, users are loosing their sessionid's and
the IIS in turn creates a new sessionid. We store plenty of data in the
session, and in this instance, we have no longer access to it. Is there a
workaround to this scenario? Thanks for any help.
