> This would be for sites on some kind of tracking list that start out without any kind of storage? Because I think ideally this would be the default. (Even more ideal would be if we didn't need the lists long term as the partitioning would keep it all in check.) #208

As mentioned in the issue and on Privacy CG calls, WebKit has seen compatibility issues for partitioned cookies. A solution for that is to make cross-site embedees explicitly opt in to partitioned cookies while blocking their cookies by default.

WebKit+CFNetwork has blocked pure cross-site cookies for 18 years with the exception of 2017-2018 when we tried partitioned cookies. For us, partitioned cookies by default only leads to more cookies.

The proposal here is to allow browsers to block cross-site cookies by default and give developers an explicit way of opting into them. The blocking can be based on whatever the browser wants, including lists.
