    Use a stream to read parts of the cookie?

    It depends on many different things. First of all any additional information about your solution is appreciated. You know, it's like being in the dark if only that few information is provided.

    One thing you could do, is to ask your automation provider if it's possible to create a function that expects the path to the cookie as parameter instead of the cookie itself.

    Or you could write or own automation that will pick up the cookie from a given path and path it through to the provider's automation.

    Or you could try to use a stream.

    Or you could upgrate to 2009 R2 RTC and use the new Data Type dotnet to try to solve it.
