    Third party cookies...how do they work?

    Hi,

    I just changed my browser settings to override automatic cookie
    handling and block all third party cookies. Now I'm curious. How are
    third party cookies allowed in the first place? I thought only the
    domain of the web site visited could store and retrieve cookies?

      The site setting the cookie gives permission for specific other domains to
      access it.

      I *think* its handled by http://www.w3.org/P3P/
