I'm having trouble setting up P3P compliancy on my website and was hoping for some help. I followed directions on several websites but I'm just not getting it right. I'm using IBM's free P3P creator. This is the error I'm getting when running
http://www.w3.org/P3P/validator.html. I can't get it to work for Steps 1-3, Setp 2 and Step 3 and need to get all of them working (for affiliate compliancy):
Step 1: /w3c/p3p.xml Validation
URI:
http://www.mydomain.com/w3c/p3p.xmlStep 1-1: Access check
/w3c/p3p.xml can be retrieved.
Message: The content type of /w3c/p3p.xml is text/xml.
Step 1-2: Syntax check
/w3c/p3p.xml has no syntax errors.
Step 1-3: Policy URI check
/w3c/p3p.xml has some warnings or errors.
Error: The URI fragment identifier (#xxx) is necessary to specify a POLICY element in a POLICIES element.
P3P policy for
http://www.mydomain.com/ is [
http://www.mydomain.com/w3c/policy.xml] --------------------------
----------
----------
----------
----------

----
Step 2: HTTP Protocol Validation ( HTTP headers )
HTTP headers have no P3P: header.
--------------------------
----------
----------

----
Step 3: HTML File Validation
HTML document has no P3P compliant link tags.
Message: No valid P3P compliant <link> element.

Here's my directory structure:
w3c
|__p3p.xml
|__policy.xml
|__privacy.html
--------------------------
--------
This is what I'm putting at the top of every page on my website:
<HEAD>
<link rel="P3Pv1" href="
http://www.mydomain.com/w3c/p3p.xml">
</HEAD>
--------------------------
--------
This is my p3p.xml:
<META xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/2002/01/P3Pv1">
<POLICY-REFERENCES>
<POLICY-REF about="

<COOKIE-INCLUDE/>
</POLICY-REF>

And this is my policy.xml:

What am I missing? I'm hoping someone can fluently see what the problem is since this is the first time I'm doing this. I would appreciate any help.
