Third party cookies

iadom · 02-12-2004, 20:37

I wonder if you nice people would like to help me. You need to have,

Win XP sp2
IE 6 sp2
ZoneAlarmPro 5.5.062

I play squash on a regular basis and our club has been approached with regard to setting up an online court booking system. The developers have a web site with a demo version to allow us to evaluate the system.

I have my XP firewall disabled and IE set to allow all cookies, ZoneAlarm is set to allow session cookies only, I edit each site details to allow regular sites to work correctly as required.
If I go to this site and attempt to login to the demo booking system I get redirected to a "page has expired" warning. If I allow session and persistant cookies it will still not load, however if I also allow third party cookies it works perfectly and I can access and use the demo court booking system. We have contacted the developers and they insist that they do not use 3rd party cookies.

What results do you get and what else could cause this ?

site here www.globusdata.co.uk follow the fairly obvious links.

Thanks in advance.

Jim.

I think the problem is that you go into glubusdata.co.uk, but the booking part is squashbooking.co.uk, i.e. a diffferent domain name. I think you'd get the same problem getting into this forum via nthellworld.com. I've come across this issue before. I think you'd need to allow cookies from both domains.

I think you have nailed the issue, some members had concerns about being invaded by spam from data miner cookies.
