Your web site can publish a privacy policy. Google "compact privacy
policy" and select "How to Deploy P3P Policies on Your Web Site"
(on msdn.microsoft.com). Typically it's in the URL /w3c/p3p.xml.

If you don't publish a policy to not use personally identifiable
information, it's presumed that you do, and sell it to Satan, and
use it to rape and pillage the user.

Your *LACK OF A POLICY* violates those restrictions. IE can't read your
mind or figure out what you encrypted into that cookie (if anything).

PHP doesn't have a function called chain(). This probably doesn't
refer to a method of attaching your partner to the bed. Are you
using it in the context of "when the user clicks the submit button
or a link, the browser goes to this other page"? Or something that
doesn't require user action?
