Hi,

You're most likely correct Lasse. Now I've changed the solution a bit - because it wouldn't work since I was trying to delete the cookie. Now I'm changing the value of the cookie instead - for controlling access (thanks to Daniel S)

(I'm using nginx in front of Varnish in this solution for the https)

Thanks for all the replies.

kind regards
