Joe, Can you put an image on the other site? (Site A)
If so what you do is this on site A.... <img src='http://www.siteB.com/mysite/my_cookie_setting.cfm/sitea.gif'> So the image displayed on site A is really coming from site B and setting a site B cookie at that point. This is what adverisers do all the time. Now when the user eventually vists site B you know they have been to site A. The image itself is created by your CF so it sets the cookie too. If you want you could also pass parameters and save them in your database. The image can be a single pixel tranparent gif. Note that in the URL some browsers are confused so you should add the spurious extra bit on the end of tyhe URL and apply the Search Safe URL fix that is available from the Macromedia web site so that it still works in CF6 or CF7.

And that's not the goal I was after, but thought if you knew the cookie name, you could read the cookie value. BUMMER!
