Is it possible read the privacy settings from an IE 6 browser (ie low, medium, medium high, high etc)?

do you mean that you want to read that information from the server and log it same as you'd log their browser and IP address etc?

My site deals with a large customer base that isn't technologically saavy. We use cookies, and have had 2 incidents recently where customers security settings were modified to a level that was blocking cookies. I am looking for a way to know they have changed this right off the bat.

we use a series of cookies, some which live only for the session, some that persist. People have modified the security settings so session cookies persist, but long term cookies don't.
