> Are third party cookies a good thing? Theoretically yes, they are intended to hold some piece of state that is relevant to or derived from your usage and that's not bad by itself. Third-parties aren't always ads either, you might embed maps or AI or countless other things that can use this. In practice, they have been abused for tracking very widely and they support all these other uses so much that we expanded this idea to include local storage, session storage, indexed storage etc.
