Re: User tracking in IE 6

[Issac Goldstand]

I've already started toying with IE6 (to look at the XML handling, actually - which is pretty decent so far).  But what IE 6 does is it somehow checks privacy  statements (no idea how it looks at 'em, though).  If there's a problem it shows you a tiny icon near the security icon.  If it's really bad, it's red - minor problems are yellow.  In any case, by default everything's enabled, I think, but there's options to start disabling problematic third-party sites.     Issac   ----- Original Message ----- From: Differentiated Software Solutions Pvt.

Couple of facts which may bite some of our software are a) By default 3rd party cookies are to be disabled in IE6 b) Implementation of P3P in IE 6.   Our software is a 3rd party adserver which uses cookies. (We are not using it for privacy but find it more convenient to track clickthroughs). We are planning to have a minor release of our software in the post IE6 era. We wanted thots on -- How are other people going to handle cookies with IE 6. Have any of you tested it ? -- Links / material which will help us understand P3P in the context of cookies. Most links we found are talking about the full-policy of disclosing privacy info. We wanted more info on the compact policy of handling cookies.   Thanks,   Murali   Differentiated Software Solutions Pvt.
