The redirect happens at the HTTP level - if you don't see it you may already be cookied.



So the mechanism is, I send HTTP request to domain x. If my request doesn't have a specific cookie, I get sent to domain y, which has the cookie, then sent back to domain x?

I don't know how I could have gotten it, uMatrix would certainly have blocked advertizing dot com for me. I'll check on that computer and then edit this post.

Edit: I'm definitely not sending this cookie, in fact I have cookies completely disabled on this domain via uMatrix. I notice that a guce.js is blocked by uBlock origin. Since I'm not getting redirected, either this is a regional thing, or else they're redirecting using JS as I suggested previously.
