Does google like cookies?

Not getting any update from google.

Every single page on my website does a check for cookies. And NONE of my pages are indexed except for the "COMING SOON" page I had back when I first registered my domain. Could it be because google doesn't even consider any page that has to do with cookies?

Google has no problem with being sent 'set-cookie' headers, but Google doesn't return cookies.

If your site fails when cookies aren't returned (by Google or by people who don't have cookies enabled) then you won't get listed.

In your case, however, the "COMING SOON" listings indicates that Google just hasn't updated your listings yet.

Thank you for the replies.
My site is still browsable even with cookies disabled. It returns 200 OK.

When I do a server header check, it returns:

Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDCASTRBDB=PKBFIENDMLMHOLIHFNDIBGAG; path=/

I have read a few posts here saying that google generally ignores pages that have sessionIDs. My page does not initiate any sessions, but the header checker shows something about ASPSESSIONID.

Does it have anything to do with Google not updating my page? (The coming soon page was from 5 months back, it has been deleted long time ago.)
