Hi, I have created an application that sets cookies (using CGI::Cookie) and have tested it in IE 6, Mozilla 1.6 for windows and Mozilla 1.6 for Linux. Mozilla has a very nice cookie manager, so I can see that they are being created and modified correctly. However, IE doesn't seem to want to accept the cookies. In IE's "Internet Option" dialogue box, I have set the privacy setting to the lowest possible value and still have had no luck in retrieving cookies (the low security settings are, of course, unacceptable in the long run, but I needed a way to test it). One thing of note, in Mozilla, the cookie manager reports that my cookies have no "Policy". In IE, the privacy tag in Internet Options requires a cookie policy for some of the more secure privacy settings. I, however, have been unable to locate any information on how to set a privacy policy for cookies. If anyone has any information on how to set a cookie policy or on how to get cookies to work in IE when it is set at the "medium" privacy level, I would be very greatful if you were to share you experience. Thank you for reading this, Joe
