CQ dispatcher - Cookie issue

[prohira]

I have a component where I am creating cookie by using below code:

Cookie cookie = new Cookie("testCookie", "cookieValue");

slingResponse.addCookie(cookie);

My cookie is getting created in browser but at the same time page is getting cached in dispatcher. The problem comes when another user comes to visit the page. Of course he will get the cached page from dispatcher and above cookie won't get created for him.

I have an omniture tracking code written in JS which is dependent on cookie existence.

How do I resolve this issue?

Read about Client Context and see if it meets your requirements: http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/personalization/client-context.html

The creation of the cookie is dynamic by nature, and therefor the page must not be cached. You have 2 options:

• Do not cache these pages, which create cookies, or
• You create the cookie in a more lightweight call (e.g on an AJAX call), which then creates the cookie.

When you design and develop your pages, you must have caching in mind, and the limitations it brings.

You could try permission sensitive caching, more details can be found at
