I'm clueless as regards privacy policy (I can't explain IE7, either),
but I'm wondering if you couldn't solve the problem by adjusting the
server where the common stylesheet and images are. Are you trying to set
a cookie for these items? If so, why?

(My default setting in my browsers is to ask me about cookies, and I
therefore see that (1) a lot of sites try to set cookies when they're
not necessary and (2) some sites are configures to set cookies for every
single file, i.e., an HTML file with 20 images will prompt me 21 times
about accepting the cookies. I think ASP does this by default, but I'm
not sure. Maybe you're doing this too?)
