Mozilla's Firefox 91, released this morning, includes a new privacy management feature called Enhanced Cookie Clearing. The new feature allows users to manage all cookies and locally stored data generated by a particular website—regardless of whether they're cookies tagged to that site's domain or cookies placed from<\/em> that site but belonging to<\/em> a third-party domain, eg Facebook or Google.<\/p>\n

The new feature builds and depends upon Total Cookie Protection<\/a>, introduced in February with Firefox 86. Total Cookie Protection partitions cookies by the site that placed them, rather than the domain that owns them—which means that if a hypothetical third party we'll call \"Forkbook\" places tracking (or authentication) cookies on both momscookies.com<\/code> and grandmascookies.com<\/code>, it can't reliably tie the two together.<\/p>\n

Without cookie partitioning, a single Forkbook cookie would contain the site data for both momscookies.com<\/code> and grandmascookies.com<\/code>. With cookie partitioning, Forkbook must set two separate cookies—one for each site—and can't necessarily relate one to the other.<\/p><\/div>
