I might be misremembering, but didn’t Safari block third-party cookies by default before all this tracking protection stuff started?

- bouke 7y agoI was thinking the same, and a image search revealed the old preferences dialog for Safari: https://www.howtoisolve.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Brower-setting-for-Cookies.jpg https://www.howtoisolve.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Browe.... So yes; you could block third-party cookies before ITP was introduced. So it seems like they're now backtracking on ITP and just default to blocking third-party cookies by default? Although maybe ITP is still involved, as Google implemented workarounds to be able to set third-party cookies regardless of this Safari setting, costing Google $22.5M. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2012/08/google-will-pay-225-million-settle-ftc-charges-it-misrepresented https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2012/08/googl...
