cookies

I need to detect if a request cookie - value is different from a response cookie - value.

Its not as easy as:

if(cookiesArePresent)
{
    bool isDifferent = HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies[".ASPXANONYMOUS"].value == HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies[".ASPXANONYMOUS"].value;
}

But I read that changing the Response.Cookies changes the Request.Cookies. That would mean they are always the same if HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies[".ASPXANONYMOUS"] was changed. Is there an easy way around this?
