Good luck in the cookie labyrinth.

Well, hmm. First Party ones seem to be a big deal, but then (normally!) first party cookies aren't ad-trackers. 6 hours in to No-3rd party ones, I don't see any ill effects.

4wd:
So now I'll see how far I get with the Third Party ones off.

I've had Third Party cookies turned off for years without causing me any problems but then again, if a site relies on the fact that you need to accept Third Party cookies then I just don't go to it after the first time.

Cookies are also only kept until I exit Firefox then they're cleared, again, causes me no ill effects.  Google cookies are either blocked or anonymised so it's a bit hard for them to build any type of cohesive personal profile on my browsing habits and probably explains why after 2 months I have no humongous chains in Collusion like IainB did after 24 hours ;)

Thanks for reminding me!
Yes. I had 3rd-party cookies enabled.
I had meant to disable them and see what Collusion's diagram looked like after that.
So, I have just disabled 3rd-party cookies and restarted Collusion's diagram.
Shall publish the picture in this thread in a day or so.

TaoPhoenix:
Too bad we can't draw little smiley faces in the diagrams!

How do you anonymise them?

Here's mine, after about 5 days...
