MSN Cookie Data Crosses Domains
tzanger writes "My brother pointed me to this article on pc-help.org. It explains a clever GUID tagging mechanism employed my MSN which allows cookies to be set and tracked over multiple domains. Of particular interest is that this mechanism works even if cookies are disabled. Finally, IE users may find that their Trusted Sites settings are useless if msn.com is on the list of sites that they do trust." Not a new issue, but a very clear and technical explanation of what is going on behind the scenes. Nice investigative work.
