That sounds awesome. Ad-tech is a burden to society.
What's complicated with first-party cookies though? Didn't Apple for example just give them a limit of 7 days? I guess Apple just accepts that people have to log-in again after the 7 day period, but I haven't looked into the technical details about this feature.
