I think hexbear has them. Is it a connection thing where cookies spot other cookies? Do tracking cookies matter when it comes to insurance and therapy sites/apps? I’m thinking about therapy that I saw advertised on YouTube, and I bet they’re somehow sketchy. And their app requires the use of third party tracking and cookies.
I just don’t want these sites/apps to see I’m a communist.
At the risk of revealing my own illiteracy, I thought that for single sign on it was like, you load the web page and it includes a request to microsoftonline, and the request that your computer sends to microsoftonline includes the sign-in cookie, and then microsoftonline responds to this by sending a unique session token and probably some other stuff to microsoft.com, and then microsoft.com sends the new session token to get stored on your computer.
I’d honestly just kinda assumed that that was more or less how SSO worked so maybe that’s wrong though. If it is and I’ve been talking out of my butt the whole time then please go easy on me.
No you’re right, but thats also how tracking cookies would work, including a request back to facebook, or an ad network, or whatever. So that is what firefox is blocking, by partitioning cookies by what site you are actually on, not just what site a request is going to.
Chrome is finally slowly rolling out something similar this year (like they made a big fuss about rolling it out to 1% of users)
So basically we both understood everything from the start but were bad at communicating it?
sounds about right 😅
