[FX.php List] Using cookies/not using cookies

[Bob Patin]

Alex,

Check out Andrew's message to me earlier today; there's a "P3P  
compliance" page that needs to be put on a site.

I went to

http://www.w3.org/P3P/details.html

and then went to

http://policyeditor.com/

and created a policy online for $39.

I hope it works... haven't tested it yet on IE6.
