Best practices for storing and using data in the vB cookie

[davide101]

Dismounted, thank you! I searched for more info and came across a very useful example that's also by you: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....39&postcount=4

For those of you that want a simple way to show something different to first time visitors, here's the plugin I'm using at Global Start:

if (!isset($_COOKIE[COOKIE_PREFIX . 'FirstVisit']))
{
   // set variable for use in templates
   $firstVisit = true; 

   // set cookie
   vbsetcookie('FirstVisit', '0', permanent);
}

Now if $firstvisit is true, I can call different code in my templates.
