why “strictly necessary” cookies can’t be used in the same way as advertising cookies

243 viewsOther

For example, couldn’t I give my visitor a cookie like MySpammySiteLoginStatus=logged-out and then anyone can see they visited MySpammySite? Additionally, couldn’t I hide other information in relatively simple codes, like deciding whether or not to add toolbar preference cookies based on whether or not the user got to the shopping cart?

Strictly necessary cookies will be restricted to the same site you got them from. The browser will not add them to a request to another site. So you can’t use them to track somebody.
