is it possible to redirect the requested page with php without to leave the current page or it needs javascript? I need this to pick up a cookie in background or what is the best approach to get a cookie from a third party?

You can try loading the page in an iframe. – gen_Eric Aug 23 '12 at 20:28

It's possible to dynamically load content into a page using JavaScript/jQuery. Get the content with $.ajax() and then load the data into the selected div (or other selector) with html(). This way, the page stays the same (you retain cookies) but you can load additional content (rather than redirecting).
