Can you check whether a users browser allows you to use cookies?

I assumt his test (just like when testing whether JavaScript is supported)
only checks whether the browser used SUPPORTS cookies (although they might
have been disabled by the user) ?

If so: the only real way of testing is by a multistep process sending a
cookie and then trying to read it back.
