Purposes Extensions Minimized: Add impact of third party cookies and privacy #101

Open jasonanovak opened 6 years ago

In the discussion of a cookie based consent mechanism, it does not address the impact that blocking third party cookies can have in such systems.

To address this, I propose changing "Even if this can be done in a scalable way, for example by editing the target URL with a mutually agreed encoding, the third-party could not persist it in one of its own cookies, because even if cookies were not blocked the tracking data would then be available web-wide, i.e on any site which embedded the same third-party.” to “While consent for a third-party could be stored by editing the target URL with a mutually agreed encoding, storing it in a cookie would make it available web-wide, i.e. on any site which embedded the same third-party. In addition, a cookie based solution does not address users that configure their user agents to reject all third party cookies or browsers that block third party cookies by default.”
