Also, there is another issue to consider: cookie stuffing. I’m sure some webmasters have set up their sites so that when a visitor arrives, a hidden i-frame loads up a bunch of different casino sites (and thus, the tracking cookies, too). Then the player is tagged to that webmaster permanently, and it doesn’t matter if they eventually go to the site by typing the URL directly into the address bar or if they click another affiliate’s link.
Hi Engineer,
I don’t profess to be any kind of IT wizard, but I am sure that this is no longer possible. New security features in browsers will not accept any cookie for a domain, unless it’s that domain that is setting it. E.g. if someone wanted to set a 32Red.com cookie, the iframe would need to be coming from 32Red – not something that we would do.
As I say, I might be wrong on this, but if there are any cookie ‘monsters’ out there who understand this more, please correct me.
