I'm trying to customise my site based on a custom cookie set on the client side. I'm wondering is there any way to read this cookie (in a similar way to the "get" parameter, for instance) to display customised content on the server.
For the most part I want to be able to:
Toggle which metadata fields are printed in the design.
[*]Toggle which metadata fields are printed in a paint layout.
[*]Rearrange items on the page depending on the cookie value.
I realise these things might not be entirely possible, but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

Well, with a mix of javascript and %globals_cookie_<variable>% you should be able to do what you are wanting.

Thanks for the reply. I've already got the Javascript frontend portion done (so if necessary I technically could implement more to change the content around) but I'm looking for a more server-side approach.
From memory I think I can compare the globals_cookie_<variable> keyword in the design to toggle on and off values using the show if section, so that's pretty neat. (I didn't know about the %globals_cookie_x% keyword, so that's going to be a big help.)
So I'll have a play and see what I come up with, thanks.
