I noticed that for a site like Bluemountain.com, at the HIGH security level
for cookies, it blocks the sign in cookie, but does not add it to the ALWAYS
BLOCK list. Others have had the site added to the ALWAYS BLOCK list, and we
can't really figure out why.... Any suggestions?
It all depends on how the cookies are handed out and from where.
For example on the medium setting third party cookies without a compact
privacy policy are blocked. So if for some reason they hand out a second
cookie, even if its the same site. If that cookie does not have the compact
privacy policy its blocked. Its up to the creators of the cookies to follow
proper procedure and not get blocked. Its possible that a dev just got lazy
and figured that if one cookie is taken they all will be and thats just not
true.
