I am not one to notice cookies normally as I browse a few sites regularly
and use mozilla's memory on accept and reject.

On a reinstall of mozilla from the nightlies I cleared the cache.

I am looking for another Linux laptop and while browsing to DNUK's
site http://www.dnuk.com I was asked to accept three cookies. Not unusual
- except for the source: search.support.microsoft.com

I have checked the source of the home page which is
http://www.dnuk.com/homepage.php and could not find any references to M$

There is a file http://www.dnuk.com/index.php however this seems to be
rewritten to homepage.php as I cannot get hold of it using wget.

Oh and finally - yes it is a very busy afternoon.  errrm well may be not
;-)

My question is though how and where is the cookie appearing?

Have fun
Xander
