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/
