Does it let you disable 3rd party cookies, or are Microsoft throwing us to the advertising / tracking companies?

  Yes, disabling 3rd party cookies is one of the few options in the settings flyout. (There's under 20 settings, total.) The cookies setting is as prominent as Do Not Track and Block pop-ups. Also, don't think that somehow just disabling third party cookies is going to make you untrackable or prevent you from being thrown to advertisers.

    Good to see the option is there. I know it's nothing like a perfect safety net against tracking, but when the option is missing, it's a great sign that the company doesn't care at all about user privacy. Also, 3rd party cookie disabling is very difficult to do elsewhere - you can set up a proxy server to filter requests & responses but it has no easy way to determine 1st/3rd party requests.
