that's meerly a technical detail. It fundamentally represents cross site tracking harvested by google.

  How is it cross-site if the cookie is first-party?

    Something can be third-party, but not cross-site. Google Analytics is one of those.

      A third party cookie has a specific meaning. Google Analytics issues first party cookies.

        Nobody has mentioned third party cookies except you. Google analytics loads scripts from and sends results to Google. Those requests inevitably include IP address and referrer. That's more than enough.

        The issue that many of us are worried about is being tracked across the entire internet by a single entity who's site some of us don't even visit (definition of third party there). We don't care if this is done by what you call first party cookies, or what your call third party cookies, or measuring our mouse movements, or finger printing our browser, or just by watching us through our webcams/sending someone to our house to take notes we don't want it period. And we will block whatever means we can that these entities use to track us.
