Third party cookies...how do they work?

Hi,

I just changed my browser settings to override automatic cookie
handling and block all third party cookies. Now I'm curious. How are
third party cookies allowed in the first place? I thought only the
domain of the web site visited could store and retrieve cookies?

The site setting the cookie gives permission for specific other domains to
access it.

I *think* its handled by http://www.w3.org/P3P/

I have a third party app that relies on a session cookie to maintain the state of my app in a users site. Currently my P3P policy is causing IE6 to reject my third party session cookie.

Good evening, I'm new to developing large subversion-controlled projects. This one will involve a few third-party libraries like wxWidgets, and perhaps Twisted. Ordinarily you could just install these into your system and they'll end up globally (in Python's Lib/site-packages directory). Is it proper practice to instead install the libraries into a separate of the repository and reference that instead? I've read about vendor branches,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
