If you're like me, you never went to a site called "doubleclick." So how did they give you a cookie? After all, the idea of the cookie, according to the specs published by Netscape, is to make a more efficient connection between the server the delivers the cookie and the client machine which receives it. But we have never connected to "doubleclick."
Scott must have. Navigator is very picky about where a cookie comes from and what is put in the domain field of the cookie.
Nope. I'm afraid your information is incorrect here. I've also watched other sites hand me a double-click cookie. And no, I don't work for "DoubleClick." Interesting premise, though. Scott Wyant Spinoza Ltd.

You probably loaded a banner ad from doubleclick -- and downloading the inline image from their site is sufficient for the cookie transfer to take place.
