right, right! forgot about that since (as sibling post says) I never close my browser. and since deleting all cookies on browser close is super aggressive and painful.
i'm referring to the latest safari which tracks 3rd-party cookies and deletes them automatically after 24 hours if you've never sent that cookie as a 1st-party one. thus effectively eliminating tracking, yet allowing sites to work normally without having to temporarily enable various trackers or determine which ones are "safe".
at the same time, google/chrome said they are taking a different approach which still allows tracking. i'm not sure that they said they would NOT CONSIDER implementing a feature like safari's though.
