In 2019, Firefox introduced Enhanced Tracking Protection by default, blocking cookies from companies that have been identified as trackers by our partners at Disconnect.
In some browsers, each cookie is a small file but in Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file, located in the Firefox profile folder. Cookies often store your settings for a website, such as your preferred language or location. When you return to the site, Firefox sends back the cookies that belong to the site.
In October 2018, for stance, Firefox rolled out (off-by-default) enhanced tracking protection features, which gave users the option to block cookies and storage access from third-party trackers.
If a cookie can identify you, you can decline the cookie completely. Websites that use these cookies have to get your permission – or risk huge fines under various laws. So if you don’t want to store a cookie holding information about you, just say no.
The best option: Block all third-party cookies.Click See All Cookies and Site Data to see a list of the cookies actually installed locally on your computer.
