A wireless two-way communications device ( 206 ) can provide to a network gateway ( 200 ) for a particular protected intranet a cookie that comprises, at least in part, a substantially unique identifier for the wireless two-way communications device and a temporal stamp as corresponds to the assignment of that substantially unique identifier. The network gateway can then arrange for the processing ( 105 ) of this cookie to recover the substantially unique identifier and the temporal stamp and the automatic use ( 106 ) of that recovered information to determine whether to provide the wireless two-way communications device with access to information contained within the protected intranet. By one approach, such a cookie can be provided in conjunction with additional information such as a personal identification number, device agent information, and/or carrier information.
