Really? Did Netscape 3.0 have per-site options to enable cookies and specifically allow/block third party cookies? If so, that’s impressive.

- lkbm 3y agoIIRC, no, it wasn't per-site, but disallowing third-party cookies overall was a setting in 3.x. The more relevant aspect, I think, is that there's an essential/non-essential distinction in the law, which differs from 1st-party/3rd-party.
