That part made me scratch my head a bit, because they shouldn't have access to Yahoo cookies. I think the article meant the http referrer needed to be yahoo?

- coldpie 12y agoPossibly. Can you set cookies over JavaScript? Ad networks allow ad providers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into their clients' websites.
- thaumaturgy 12y agoYou can set and read cookies using Javascript, but due to same-origin policies that are present in all modern browsers, it shouldn't be possible for a non-Yahoo domains to read cookies set by Yahoo. There might be some exception that I'm not aware of, but that would seem like a pretty serious browser security issue.
