    I always wonder if accepting all + blocking 3rd party cookies through browser settings is a sensible choice. One is left with 1st party cookies and a few browser have mechanisms in place to avoid these to be read by non-originating websites…

      Blocking all 3rd party cookies tends to break quite a few things, as websites often use different domains to handle things like logins.

      I’ve found addons like Cookie Autodelete to be a more functional option, it allows those cookies to exist until I close the tab, and if the domain isn’t on a whitelist, they get deleted five minutes later. And it works for first party cookies too.
      It does take a while to build that whitelist, and sometimes you forget to set it and wipe something you’d rather have kept, though.

        That’s the thing: I use ISDCAC + block 3rd party and I have literally never experienced breakage.
