Abstract:
1. A network communication system, comprising: a processor in communication with a memory with instructions stored in said memory executed by said processor; a first interface establishing a communication path with a subscriber terminal; a second interface establishing a communication path with a network access point that is connected to a data communication network; and a connection server assigning a network address within the data communication network to the subscriber terminal; wherein the connection server receives outgoing communications from the subscriber terminal and transmits the outgoing communications to the network access point and receives incoming communications from the network access point and transmits the incoming communications to the subscriber terminal; wherein the connection server further intercepts a tracking cookie received from a first remote server in the data communications network and intended for the subscriber terminal and stores the tracking cookie at the connection server so that the tracking cookie can be used to support a communication session between the subscriber terminal and the first remote server without the tracking cookie being stored at the subscriber terminal; and wherein the connection server further inspects an outgoing communication of the subscriber terminal to determine an identity of a second remote server to which the outgoing communication is addressed and, in response to determining the identity of the second remote server from the outgoing communication of the subscriber terminal, queries the subscriber terminal to determine if the connection server should intercept tracking cookies from the second remote server that have not yet been received by the connection server.
