P3P是什么
P3P（Platform for Privacy Preferences）是W3C公布的一项隐私保护推荐标准，以为用户提供隐私保护。
P3P标准的构想是：Web 站点的隐私策略应该告之访问者该站点所收集的信息类型、信息将提供给哪些人、信息将被保留多少时间及其使用信息的方式，如站点应做诸如 “本网站将监测您所访问的页面以提高站点的使用率”或“本网站将尽可能为您提供更合适的广告”等申明。访问支持P3P网站的用户有权查看站点隐私报告，然 后决定是否接受cookie 或是否使用该网站。
如何利用P3P实现跨域
在开发中，我们碰到的跨域主要还是纠结在IE，页面中的IFRAME或者FRAME或者JS跨域的时候，IE有安全策略限制页面不带cookie，但是如果我们加上P3P，就没有这策略的限制。这也是P3P来突破跨域的可行前提。
以下为摘录的例子：
http://www.a.com/a_setcookie.php 文件内容：
<?php setcookie("test", $_GET['id'], time()+3600, "/", ".a.com"); ?>
http://www.a.com/a_getcookie.php 文件内容：
<?php var_dump($_COOKIE); ?>
http://www.b.com/b_setcookie.php 文件内容：
<script src="http://www.a.com/a_setcookie.php?id=www.b.com"></script>
通过浏览器访问：
1?> http://www.b.com/b_setcookie.php
2?> http://www.a.com/a_getcookie.php
访问1 b.com域后，我们并没有在2 a.com域发现设置上cookie值。
将http://www.a.com/a_setcookie.php文件内容改为如下：
<?php
header('P3P: CP="CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR"');
setcookie("test", $_GET['id'], time()+3600, "/", ".a.com");
?>
再次访问：
http://www.b.com/b_setcookie.php
http://www.a.com/a_getcookie.php
在访问b.com域后，设置了a.com域的cookie值。
从上面例子可以看出通过发送P3P头信息而实现的跨域。（在Firefox不发送P3P也能跨域成功）
PHP使用P3P协议
header( 'P3P: CP="CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR"' );
JS使用P3P协议
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader( "P3P" , 'CP="CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR"' );
P3P的头部参数解释
引用：
P3P Header is present:
CP="CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR"
Compact Policy token is present. A trailing 'o' means opt-out, a trailing 'i' means opt-in.
