Since upgrading to Firefox Quantum some websites still require cookies to be enabled. However unlike in the past no perceivable cookies are placed on the hard drive when they are enabled. Is some slight of hand taking place where these are not persistent, but nevertheless the website requiring them is receiving data indicating I’ve visited it? Additionally, since Firefox Quantum, I did have an instance where cookies actually did show when accessing the “Show Cookies” button prior to leaving the website. So far this was only a one-time event but nevertheless may indicate that privacy could be compromised unknowingly. Some of the websites I visit have no reason to require cookies to be enabled, but content nevertheless is unavailable without enabling them. These are primarily financial type websites in which I find the requirement troubling. All I’m looking for is an assessment on what is happening when websites require cookies to be enabled. Unlike in the past where Google’s cookies appear, now they never appear (except for the instance described above). I’m suspicious that this process of placing cookies is still taking place on a massive scale in a nanosecond time-frame. It could indicate that such data is falling into the hands of those that are using it to unfairly get the benefit of it for self-serving patently illegal financial reasons that violate anti-trust laws. In a world where central banking authorities are robbing average people in support of their counterfeit government sponsored money current cookie handling requirements should be fully disclosed to users by Firefox Quantum’s programming experts. If there is no technical way to avoid this it should be brought out into the open. At least all would be aware and avoid websites, if they choose, that may have found ways around Firefox Quantum’s privacy protections. Finance.yahoo.com could be a major privacy violator since it has “upgraded” content to provide additional information. It will only provide it if cookies are enabled. Finance.yahoo.com asks right up front for “feedback”. If provided voluntarily this does not necessitate sleazy data collection to benefit a few elitist interests. Some websites, like Morningstar.com, unlike in the past, will provide almost no content unless visitors become a “member”. Morningstar provides premium content, at a price, where previously most of it was “free”. Mozilla/Firefox needs to be honest with its users about what it can, and what it cannot do, to protect the privacy of the users of its Quantum browser. This may bring forth answers from outside of Mozilla/Firefox for a "can-do" approach.
