@prushforth @grigs On their own, these 1st party cookies can't really track you like 3rd party cookies do: the analytics/ad/social-media server doesn't get the same cookie for each site you visit with their script, they get a different one for each domain. In theory, that means they can only track your activity on that site.
However, that's where fingerprinting comes in. A script can poke around in your browser settings, add your IP address, and pull together enough to match you across sites.
