    Why does ChatGPT need to know that? That should be illegal.

      Something like it is basically a requirement if you want to see digital ads. Advertisers want to know how many people who saw/clicked their ad went on to make a purchase.

      Safari and Firefox should isolate the cookie by default.

        So to summarize, yes, it should be illegal.
