Yes, the page sets the cookie for me. I discovered this by:
1. Choosing Internet Options from the Tool menu.
2. On the General Tab, under Temporary Internet
Files, clicking Settings
3. In the Settings dialog box, clicking View Files.
4. In the resulting Windows Explorer window, clicking
the Last Modified column heading until that column
appears in descending order.
5. Searching visually from the top of the list.
