Cookies

Any one any idea how to recreat someone else's cookie.

So for example you go to someones site and they write a cookie to your computer.

I want to be able to write the same cookie to other peoples computer from my site.

Do you need to know what info they write to the cookie as when you look in the file it is mainly numbers which i don't know what they refer to.

Of course you can write a cookie with the same info but each cookie is only available for use by the site that issued it. So cookies issued by 'site1' can not be read by 'site2'.

I have seen that for example affiliate directories will put cookies on peoples machines so that if that they purchase something from the affiliate site it will still register as a sale from the directory - and they haven't clicked through to the affiliate site. So how is this done as site1 is setting the cookie and site2 registers the cookie as a click through???

Ah actually could they be doing somekinda of javascript pop up to site2 without actually popping up the window - or possibly doing a redirect to site2 and then straight back to site1????

Just guessing here
