It would be interesting if it is also possible to abuse it. If it is possible to create enough unique timestamps, that browsers still accept them. Can you add milliseconds to the TS, and do browsers store them too? Or do browsers also accept timestamps from months or years back and re-send them? If you can use the whole scale of Unix time (int32), there is a huge pool of entropy available.
In this case they don’t do this evil thing, and it probably would still violate the European GDPR, even if it’s not an actual cookie, but somebody has to find it first.
