Cookie Security - Data Privacy Implications #10
Description
There are tons of news articles today detailing how 3rd party cookies track user behavior and how dangerous that is. I believe it would be prudent to outline why that is and things to look out for to avoid accidentally building systems that track user behavior like that.
It may be a bit difficult to come up with an example / quiz question for this part, but it may be doable: e.g. Given this cookie and other data, could you remove this hypothetical users sense of privacy? or something equally as scary.
It's also worth mentioning that I know certain browsers are starting to take action against these types of dangerous cookies, so maybe this won't be an issue forever? That may be a bit too optimistic though...
