Is it still only Safari that has the "from websites I visit" option? That's the most sensible one to me.

Does that mean same-domain? That basically meets the EU requirement for most tracking systems I think (where they're third party that is).

"Accept the session cookie but not the Google Analytics one."

It means it will accept cookies for other domains if you have visited the other domain explicitly before. This makes things like embedded widgets work.

Ah see, that's the opposite of what I'd want, personally at least.

The whole point imo of blocking cookies for privacy reasons is so that things like that can't track me around the web - explicitly visited or not.
