Thank you so much for explaining the concept in such a clear and concise way! I really appreciate your help.

i would add to that:
stuff that is stored in cookies is stuff that is meant to be stored by the website developer.

this can be all kinds of stuff.
but super important for the understanding: it cannot store data, that it cannot read in the first place.
if the browser does not publish any info about the computer, the website cannot read that data and hence cannot store the data in the cookie.

another aspect is, that a website X cannot access the data in the cookie of website Y. (unless the browser is faulty implemented)

so amazon cannot read data from ebay to suggest products.
If the third party cookie is enabled and both websites use them, then and only then it is possible to share info between sites.

So basically if all the websites would use server side "sharing" of info, all the info would be shared even without cookies. and no one would ever know.
if i cannot trust the website... then a cookie disclaimer is basically useless.

and for such a technique i think the cookie disclaimer "solution" was just horrible!
on top: that all law makers world wide came up with that same idea tells me a lot about how effective that was... basically it was shoving the responsibility to the user... not helping the user.

once third party cookies become obsolete, what can a publisher do with its first party cookie data? wont a pub marry its 1st party data with SSPs tech and that would in turn serve the purpose of serving relevant ads.

This is not what a third party cookie is. A cookie that is hosted by the owner of the website can also be third party. If the cookie same site attribute is set to none, then it's considered a third party

Had to swap phones this past month due to excessive 3rd party sites slowing my device to a crawl and doing abnormal blinking, rolling and going black or gray. The replacement is just as bad, now worse. A 3rd party site is now trying to charge my bank account $49.95 (3x I've stopped this week) for an advertising account subscription.

I hate cookies ad loaded pages which interfere with reading. No zucking way.
