Enable / disable ASP.Net session cookie programmably

Question

I have solutions for globally removing the asp.net_sessionId - but I then want to add it programmably. Its nothing to do with tricking the user, but if my understanding of the new EU directive coming into action, I must give users an option to accept or reject ALL cookies..

Easy with Google Analytics - register the script IF the user says OK, or don't. And I know how to disable ASP.Net_sessionId globally, but if the user says OK, I'd like to turn it back on!

Ideas?

You can enable or disable session at page level too. Using Page[^] property EnableSessionState.

Have a look at this article: How To Disable ASP Session State in ASP.NET[^]

Yes, thanks. This is the article to disable, however I need to know how to ENABLE if I have added the <sessionstate> to OFF in the web.config. Ideas?

I doubt you will be able to do that at runtime. Will share across if I can think/find something.
