This is appearing in the TMW load bar. It appears to be a traffic logging cookie. I have checked and it is not on my end, or loading at any other page...I'm guessing it comes from one or more of our ads.

I don't understand. Is it a graphic? URL? Popup? Banner? Is that all it says is bs.serving?

Yes, at the bottom of the browser it often gets stuck on
"Waiting for bs.serving-sys.com..."
and I see it load when I load TMW pages. It looks like a tracking cookie but I just took notice because it hangs itself up while loading on a regular basis.

Humm, it looks like a "advertiser" server rather than any of the ad servers I use. Digging into it
bs.serving-sys.com is a: Cookie (General)
So your 100% correct, it is a cookie that makes sure you don't get "their" ad more than X times a day. I'd call it a beneficial cookie as you really don't want to get more ads than you are supposed to anyways... haha. It's not tracking anything else than to make sure you don't get too many ads.
Why it hangs up sometimes is their ad server (bs.serving-sys.com) is overloaded and your in queue to get your cookie updated along with a few thousand others at the same time. I wish I could do something about it but it's a 3rd party thing completely out of my hands there.
Hope that helps.
Mike
