IE6 keeps reporting my page as setting cookies, when it doesnt!

Getting rid of that little blocked cookie icon in the status bar

I recently wrote a program which lets websites track their browser statistics by putting a small snippet of javascript code into their website (the code ends in a .asp extention). However I'm noticing that for some reason it keeps triggering IE6's blocked cookie icon whenever someone browses one of my client's webpages that has the snippet in it.

I didn't use cookies anywhere in my script at all. I even tested it out by removing all the code and just calling a blank page as a javascript include.

I tried editing my P3P file to say that no information is collected and still the blocked cookie icon is appearing. I have seen google javascript ads on the same page that aren't triggering the same alert. Anyone have any idea how to stop this from recurring?

Thanks!

Is the webserver itself adding a tracking or session cookie?

Aye -- it's IIS itself setting a session cookie either through a header or ISAPI filter (for stats tracking, etc).

This is a great tool for seeing what's being done - type in the url to your asp page -- I think you'll more than likely see a line like this:

Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDACRDBDAR=JKOBAGECOFFBDIBHOGMPENDM; path=/
