It's not a cookie problem. I have the same requirement in all my browsers,
that requires all cookies to be displayed for acceptance or rejection. I
had no cookies from any site when I was redirected.

I suspect a CGI or javascript is involved, which hijacks your connection. It
would seem that it might be browser-specific, and also have a random factor
built in to it's execution.

What I found interesting was that the site I eventually ended up at (yes I
clicked to see where it led) wanted me to download an executable. I have no
need of windows to know what this executable does. Briefly, when you
install it, it disconnects your modem, mutes the speaker and redials to a
1900 number. The first most users know of it is when they get a phone bill
showing a call to an overseas location, which was charged to them at a rate
of roughly $10 (US) per minute...

I think bandwidthplace needs to check their servers (and javascript code).
