Hi guys,
so the problem goes like this:

I have a form that submits and sets a cookie then the user is redirected to a page on another domain (Gartner's domain who won't let us host the pages). Now we don't want people to access these pages on the Gartner server unless they have submitted the form from our domain.

So obviously the cookie is baked but only readable by our domain since you can't read cookies from other domains. The code on the Gartner server is looking for the cookie but can't find so it redirects back to the sign up form.

Does anyone know a bloody solution for this problem... cookies really don't seem to be the way to go. Can I carry some information across the query string, though that's pretty unstable too... help!
