What it means is say I include an image from peeron.com in my post on
lugnet, using the FTX image tag. Now, when you view my post via the web
interface, your browser will go to peeron.com to get the image and
display it to you. When your browser retreives my image, I can have
peeron set a cookie on your computer. That's called a 3rd party cookie
- basically, a cookie is set by a server different than the one you're
visiting.
Does that make sense?
