> Other browsers:
> Mozilla Firefox 1.5: allows third party cookies by default
> Internet Explorer 6 / Windows: blocks without a P3P privacy policy (which is
> set)

> Safari: blocked

> A JavaScript alert should pop up with the amount of times that ad has been

> write it, and is read via a JS file that's written out dynamically.
