reading third party cookies

[rohitchawla]

How is it possible to read the third party cookies if u have a valid p3p policy set in place

I have a server side application that sets the third party cookie and whenever the client visit any site with my js file attached to it, i want to read the values of my third party cookie

Is it possible to read it from client side as my server side can read the value of this third party cookie

Use Ajax for this.

well, is there a way i can just read the value of cookie from document.cookie or any similar approach and not ask server side to fetch the values of cookies

.js files don't get cookies, no directly the answer is no.
javascript can only view cookies in the page url's domain.
your server cookies are only available when the page comes from you,
they are not attachments that follow the document's scripts.

one thing you might try playing with is using your .js file to always add an invisible iframe to the page. pointing the iframe to your server, the script could read any cookies you previously wrote. in this way, you could report back to your server whenever someone used your script file, but i am not sure if this helps you out.

I doubt it. It's not too difficult getting values from a server-side script and the delay is minimal.
