New banners are also requested at a time specified by the content server. Also, clicks on the banners must be reported. The Service Transaction Provider Cydoor decides when it wants these activity reports and Opera stores this time information in the system registry as the number of seconds until the next time Opera should connect to the report server. An example is provided in no name yet . This time will always be a time separate to the activity report.
Opera sends and receives files in XML format to and from the Cydoor servers.
Profile data is not sent as part of the activity report. Registry entries are created to store technical information used to connect and communicate with the Cydoor servers. If the registry entries are deleted, Opera will connect again to the registration server at startup and request a new registration. The servers and sites that offer the banner images can send cookies, just as capably as any other image that you normally load into Opera when viewing a web document. Cookies do not originate from the Cydoor or Opera servers.
