I don't like this, beyond the discussion if 3rd party cookies are good or bad, these measures are always for the worst.

Not long ago IE set DoNotTrack by default. What happened? Every single company that respected the user decision for DoNotTrack, stopped doing so since it wasn't the user, but a browser the one who decided that.

Long story short: All the effort done with DoNotTrack was wasted.

With this story, cookie tracking is far from perfection. It might be great for ad companies, might me useful for retailers and might be creepy for some users, but IMO is the safest way there's to date to keep the equilibrium. There are choices to be protected from cookie tracking and there's plenty of information.

There's a critical difference here though. DNT was asking not to be tracked, not allowing the cookies is forcing it.
