Cookies were initally shared between sites easily.

Now Firefox cluster cookies set by a site for this site only.

Cookie privacy has limitation though

In other words, it can do nothing about the tracking carried out directly by the site visited. On the other hand, access to third-party cookies is not totally blocked. It is simply very restricted, as there are certain cases where this access is legitimately used, such as for authentication via a third-party service.

After all if a website is malicious, then is it hard to fight against if a connection has been made :/
