Using cookies to prevent access to certain non secure pages in a site
<p>If I have a small microsite and on the first page I want to ensure that the user cannot jump to a non secure page between (e.g. 2 or 3), what would be the best way to implement this? The next page can only be seen if the user sets a certain item in a drop down box.</p>

<p>My first thought is cookies. If the user goes to the second page and the cookie's value is null, then there is a redirect to a failure page. If the user chooses the right value, the cookie's value is set to being a success. Would this approach work if I send a link on the 2nd page to a friend on another PC?</p>

<p>Is there a better way?
Thanks</p>
