Hi.

What is the difference if I choose tracking protection "Strict" or "Custom" with "All third-party cookies" blocked?

Standard and Strict modes apply "Total Cookie Protection", which accepts but isolates third party cookies. This substantially reduces the kinds of site breakage that occur when third party cookies are completely blocked, and still prevents cross-site tracking using those third party cookies because, to take Amazon as an example, the third party Amazon cookies for each site are set and stored separately and aren't easily connected.
