InternetSetPerSiteCookieDecisionA function (wininet.h)

Sets a decision on cookies for a given domain.

Syntax

BOOL InternetSetPerSiteCookieDecisionA(
  [in] LPCSTR pchHostName,
  [in] DWORD  dwDecision
);

Parameters

[in] pchHostName

An LPCTSTR that points to a string containing a domain.

[in] dwDecision

A value of type DWORD that contains one of the InternetCookieState enumeration values.

Return value

Returns TRUE if the decision is set and FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

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  WinINet does not support server implementations. In addition, it should not be used from a service. For server implementations or services use Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP).
 

Note

The wininet.h header defines InternetSetPerSiteCookieDecision 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.
