Is there a program out there where you can submit a link, and it simulates or tests in some way, what that link will do to your system? ie, drops in a cookie or 3, opens popup to xyz.com etc.

I have suspicions about an advertiser on one of my sites, who *might* be cookie stuffing or doing something dodgy, but I'm not technically cluey enough to know how / what he might be doing. I could clear all my cookies, click the link, and see I guess.

I don't want to know any of the technicalities of stuffing, I just want to clear this guy's name / prove either way.

Is there a better way to track exactly what the link / site you're visiting is doing / putting on your system?
