I think the default is to allow third party cookies in all browsers - it's an option to turn it off, which is meant to basically keep ad sites from tracking you as they display ads.
If third party cookies are not allowed you're out of luck if you're presenting information from another domain in a frame. Your only option is to ask customers to set an exception for your site if they have this option set.
The other option is - don't use cookies, but pass whatever information you need via query string 'license plates' rather than cookies (which is a lot of work but possible).

I have a two-step "purchase" process that collects information on one page in order to perform a cost calculation before collecting the site visitor's contact information on the 2nd page. I am using sessions.
When these purchase pages are framed in back on to another domain, the process does not work (although periodically it does, due to browser cookie settings i assume). If i uncheck FireFox's "allow 3rd party cookies" option, it does not work. If its checked, it does work.
First, is the default setting in IE and FF to NOT allow 3rd party cookies?
Second, whats a work around?
