title: Difference between Request.Cookies and Response.Cookies
body: <p>I use both of these many times in my code and don't really know what the difference is , if a cookie is set shouldn't it be exactly the same in request and response? and is request going to the the most up to date , or response?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>ok , I get the difference between a request and a response, but if I type</p>
  
  <pre><code>string a = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookie["a"].Value;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it is most of the time the same as </p>
  
  <pre><code>string a = HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookie["a"].Value;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I am wondering what is the difference between using the two.</p>
