Total Cookie Protection restricts cookies to the site where they were created, so they cannot be used for tracking purposes.

Mozilla has implemented the Full Cookie Protection feature in the new version of its Firefox 86 browser. The new protection feature is built into the Enhanced Tracking Protection mode, which was added to the browser in 2019.

Total Cookie Protection restricts cookies to the site where they were created, so tracking companies cannot use them to track user traffic from one resource to another. The function is a kind of" cookie jar " (cookie jar), where cookies are stored for each site visited. Each time a site or third-party content embedded in it places a cookie in the user's browser, this file is isolated in a specially designated "cookie jar" for this site, so that it cannot be transferred to other resources.

Total Cookie Protection makes a limited exception for cross-site cookies that are used for non-tracking purposes, such as authorization. Only if the function detects that the user intends to use the service for authorization, it grants the service permission to use cross-site cookies specifically for the site where the user intends to log in.
