Cookie: vbseo_loggedin

I'm experimenting with removing cookies for guests. Would someone be so kind and tell me what functionality would be affected (if any) if I remove the vbseo_loggedin cookie from being set for guests? Also, which php file sets this cookie? Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

This cookie detects vbseo to run routines for guests or members. I would not advise removing it as it would add vbseo code processing time on pages N+1 -> infiinity to run, look up user groups, do magic, etc every time just to get to that point instead of having it available as a cookie already.

Brian, I just noticed, for some reason I don't have that cookie on my live site, I only see it on my test forum. Hmm, I don't think I will agonize over it too much though, unless I notice an issue.

(As of today, my forum serves no cookies at all for guests.)

It basically acts as a cache. It's recommended to be there.
