The www.GRCTECH.com test cookies, that are continually offered to visitors of www.GRC.com, are normally only received by visitors' browsers in a third-party context — because visitors are retrieving pages from the www.GRC.com site and never retrieving pages directly from the www.GRCTECH.com server.
