> enhance the user experience Sorry, but this made me laugh. > whats the alternative to 3rd party cookies? Don't use a 3rd party service.

  yes, saving user progress is enhancing their experience. you hear 3rd party and immediately think its bad. > Don't use a 3rd party service. I knew someone would say this, as if I had unlimited dev time.

    You shouldn't use the term enhancing user experience. It’s a synonym for doing something against the interest of the user.

    The third party service can provide you with some JavaScript you inject into your website. It stores cookies on your domain instead of a third party one.

      Which of course begs the question should third party scripts be allowed to run?

        You don't need cross-origin scripts for this: you can host it yourself. If you were to disallowed loading scripts cross-origin, everyone would just end up creating subdomains for everything you wanted to load, which would be worse security-wise I bet, as you'd lose some of the cross origin security features we have today.
