don't suppose anyone has a list of default cookie settings on common browsers? I can't find one anywhere and even individual browser info is quite hard to find without a fresh install of each one.

I think most allow all but some disallow 3rd party by default. I'm just trying to get a grip on how cookie acceptance is going to change with browsers, before I get my head around how it'll change with stupid legal changes.....

3rd party cookies are rejected if you don't have a compact P3P policy in the response header

thanks Torben, I presume thats for all versions of IE? I know it used to apply to ie6.

I'm not sure when it was implemented but you are probably right about it being in IE6
