Cloudflare 32KB Header limit, bad for cookies

To keep it short: Cloudflare does not process requests with HTTP headers that are over 32KB. If you are storing multiple/large cookies, beware, they may be truncated, which may prevent users from being able to visit your site. I found out about this issue while writing a simple Cart/Session Codeigniter app. Mind you, I didn't think that I was stuffing too much into the cookies, and it worked fine without Cloudflare.
