[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 940282, member: 39702"] First party cookies are there to remember your interaction with the websites (settings, sign in, etc.). Third party cookies are non-essential cookies whose job is only to track you across different websites. If you disable first party cookies, many websites will be broken. If you disable third party cookies, almost none of the websites will be broken. I'm blocking third party cookies since way before that was even [I]a thing[/I]. So far, the only website I saw broken because of it was Google Drive—and it literally said that you have to enable third party cookies for it to work normally. Terrible design from Google which I expect to go away soon. Ad personalization is turned on by default in products from any company that uses ads. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi—all companies have that enabled by default and you have to manually turn the setting off. Because of that, I don't see the problem with FLoC turned on by default if there is option to turn it off. [/QUOTE]
