I'm no lawyer, but that seems like a risky statement. There are many circumstances that can cause the contents of the cookies you set to be disclosed to third parties. It seems like the definition of "sharing" would come under scrutiny in these situations, which doesn't seem like much defense to me. I suppose you're safe as long as you don't willingly or intentionally share this information yourself, but browser vulnerabilities (such as those found in IE 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0) can allow anyone to view the contents of any cookie. I doubt I'm telling you anything you don't know, but maybe I'm saying something that someone doesn't know. :-) Chris ===== My Blog http://shiflett.org/ HTTP Developer's Handbook http://httphandbook.org/ RAMP Training Courses http://www.nyphp.org/ramp
