InternetGetPerSiteCookieDecisionA function (wininet.h)
Retrieves a decision on cookies for a given domain.
Syntax
BOOL InternetGetPerSiteCookieDecisionA(
[in] LPCSTR pchHostName,
[out] unsigned long *pResult
);
Parameters
[in] pchHostName
An LPCTSTR that points to a string containing a domain.
[out] pResult
A pointer to an unsigned long that contains one of the InternetCookieState enumeration values.
Return value
Returns TRUE if the decision was retrieved and FALSE otherwise.
Remarks
A return value of FALSE may indicate that the domain pchHostName does not have any site-specific cookie regulations.
WinINet minimizes the domain specified in the pchHostName parameter and sets the cookie policy on the minimum legal domain. For example, if the specified host name is widgets.microsoft.com, the policy is set on the minimized host name microsoft.com.
Like all other aspects of the WinINet API, this function cannot be safely called from within DllMain or the constructors and destructors of global objects.
Note
The wininet.h header defines InternetGetPerSiteCookieDecision as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
