Cookie Help

Hi,
I am trying to create a dynamic page that loads a news page or the main page depending
on the version of the news and if the user has already seen the news page at least twice.

I have set up a cookie to track the news page version and to count how many times they
have seen that version.

The Problem:
The page(s) that I am loading appear in a frame of another webpage from another server.
The 'Main' application is a framework for performing a bunch of calculations and I am loading
my 'Custom' tools from a different server into this framework.

When I use the page that I created by its self it works quite well so I know that I have
it coded it correctly. I assume that the reason that it is not working in the framework is
that the framework is the one holding the session and the page that I am loading from my
server is prevented from reading writing any cookies.

The Question:
Does anyone know if there is a way that I can get this working? In my researching I read
a blurb about doubleclick placing a cookie on a system without the user having to visit
their site but of course the article did not say 'How' it was done.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated

As far as I know, cookies can only come from and can only be read by the originating server. Maybe you could work out something wherein your main app calls a js in the child window that sets/reads the cookie within the context of that window and returns a value. I'm not sure even this could be done.
