That's restricted by the browsers to avoid any session hijacking or other hacks. So I'm afraid you won't be able to do that with php in the code of the bridge website. The code generating the cookie is in the file plugins/system/hikashopaffiliate.php What I would do if I were you would be to have an iframe of 1px*1px displaying a page on the hikashop store website on the bridge website with the partner_id included. That would enable the system to set the cookie for the store while the user would be displaying the bridge website.

And thank you for the code i needed the decoder. Your idea is great, I have just installed it on the bride website but as far as i know i need to iframe with the partner_id which is at the bridge site the iframe is in. so im asking do i have to use JS or something to implant the partner_id to the iframe or can it work differently?
