Today I learned how to write and read cookies in eruby but I’m looking  
for a better way “ruby way” of doing something.

I read to see if the user has my cookie. If they have read the page  
already and allowed a cookie I want to send them automatically to  
another page.

This is what I have:

\<% if cookie == ‘true’ %\>

\<%else%\> I put in my content \<%end%\>

Surely there is a better ruby way than using a meta tag?

Thanks in advance,  
Peter
