Bruno,

Just read this thread

That makes sense. The main page is one.com, so two.com is a third-party for
that page. Unlike when the page is directly loaded from two.com, where there is
no other party involved.

Sounds like IE is doing exactly what it should. Other than telling the user to
change their browser settings, there isn't much you can do.

One of the reasons for this setting, btw, is to limit ad tracking. Third part
ads would set cookies on one page and be able to read them on another page (the
ads would be originated at the same domain so this works).

BTW - please don't top post. This group uses bottom posting as a standard.
