Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
A note from a friend...
Quote:
* Phorm plants first-person cookies in the name of various of the sites
that the user visits. *Richard Clayton has noted that it cannot be
guaranteed that these cookies will be invisible to those sites. This
raises the issue that an unexpected cookie arriving at the server, if
the server-side code works by enumerating the cookies, rather than
accessing specific cookies by name (something it is PERFECTLY entitled
to do - it was, up until now, entirely in control of its own
first-person cookies) then it may encounter a cookie containing
unexpected data that fails to parse, and cause server-side errors in
consequence.
