I think that’s what it is, except my use of the term “block” was mostly wrong. This seems to accept them but keep them isolated, defeating their effectiveness as a way to track users across sites.

I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault for being confused or misinterpreting what’s in the article, because even Mozilla calls it blocking:

And starting in 2024, all our users can look forward to Firefox blocking even more third party cookies.

The linked page is even more confusing, because it provides a link back to this page for clarification about which third party cookies are being blocked.
