* The laws specify that it must be opt-in. If a site doesn't respect this, you can't expect it to respect any of your choices anyway.
* You can now also use uBlock Origin to set cookies and LocalStorage entries automatically. The annoyance lists already set opt-out cookies for sites like Google and Youtube
* Firefox has actually been isolating third-party cookies and other site data (e.g. LocalStorage) for over a year. It's pointless for you to ever be concerned about them.
- Macha 3y agoClient side data is only part of the problem, and it's a common myopic argument to GDPR for opponents of GDPR to say people should just use their browser's cookie controls. Server side fingerprinting is as much as a problem, something the ad industry has adopted since Safari added ITP and are accelerating since Chrome has been making noises about following Safari and Firefox for a few years now. I suspect as soon as Google figures out how to do it without disrupting their own ad business it'll come into effect.
