A Site Wants To Set Cookie On Google's Results Page?

[OlRedEyes]

Just did a search on Google with Firefox 2.0. Only one window open. FF is set to ask me if sites can set cookies.

As the results page comes up, no clicking on any listing, the first site in the results page tries to set a cookie. Surely this is not possible????

Note: No beer, no mind altering drugs used!

Here's a screenshot. I'd be most interested in how this is done.

I set FF to accept cookies from sites & keep them until FF is closed.

The point is how does a site set a cookie on Googles search.

I just did the same search using Firefox 2 on MacOS and did not get a cookie set for any site with dubie in the name.

can you reproduce it?

Sounds like a web accelerator or proxy is prefetching the page.
