how do I make cookies 'mandatory'
HI
I have a family lineage web site and my sister and I would like to track all of the visitors who pop by.
I use a free stat counter ( my.statcounter.com ) that works tremendously well reporting stats.
It has been fun watching people globally check out our work.

What I would like to do is make my site one of those that only let you in if you have cookies set. "This site requires cookies, set your browser to ..." thing

How do i do this
I use Front Page 2000

Thank you

since i assume you know how to set and read cookies, you could just set a random cookie, then afterward check if the cookie still exists, if it does continue, if not display the error.
