cookie error

When my site is displayed via my main website name the site performs correctly.
However, when the site is displayed from an alternative, 'alias' url via web forwarding it displays from the 'contact us' button: ........

This can be for several different reasons, but they are all under your control:

Cookies are not disabled (as i say, the site performs ok when called up with the main name)

Does anyone know a solution?

cookie error

For more info:
The main site is
www.audiotrekking.com
An alias pointing to it is
www.solar.gb.com
[the 'contact us' link can be accessed after selecting 'audio guides']

cheers

Most browsers have privacy set to medium-high which means they block cookies from third party sites.

When on your solar.gb.com site, the cookies are still coming from audiotrekking.com and are therefor blocked as being 3rd party cookies.

The solution is to do 301 redirect from the alias url rather than web forwarding. This will also help the search engines understand that don't have the same site under two urls and any penalties they might apply.
