Hi!

Any ideas how to solve this for Safari? Is forcing the using to “globally” change his cookie policy the only way?

Regards
M

Does anyone know how you can get IE to accept 3rd party cookies when you can’t change the 3rd party site? Is this possible?

Hi, this did not work for me. Can you please take a look:

I am calling an iframe that sets up Cookies by Javascript. I tried calling them through PHP as well, and it does not work. (header is defined through PHP). Any ideas?

You can’t just set the headers anymore (for IE8 anyways).
You have to have a valid p3p.xml file in place that is referenced from the header.
There are also a few new ‘gotchas’ that can cause cookies to be blocked.

It used to be quite easy to overcome the cookie blocking problem (using basic headers) but updated browsers are getting tighter and tighter with the whole privacy thing.

Easiest p3p.xml generator I’ve found (and used ) is http://p3pwiz.com

This does not work with Firefox 3.5.3 (didnt try any other version) when disabling 3rd party cookies via about:config and changing network.cookie.cookieBehavior value to 1.

Its done.

I already got it working.

i just put.

reponse.addHeader(\"P3P\", \"CP=\"\\\" IDC DSP COR CURa ADMa OUR IND PHY ONL COM STA \\\"\");
before returning the view. instead of putting this alone in a jsp file.

thank you
