👉 The Cookies Project is an initiative by Mozilla, the open-source software foundation behind Firefox, aimed at enhancing user privacy and control over web browsing. It introduces a new cookie framework that prioritizes user consent and transparency. Unlike traditional cookies, which often track user behavior across sites without explicit permission, the Cookies Project allows users to manage cookies more effectively by categorizing them into "necessary" and "optional" types, providing clear explanations of their purposes, and enabling granular control over which sites can access these cookies. This framework also includes features like automatic cookie deletion after inactivity and the ability to block third-party cookies, thereby reducing data collection and enhancing privacy for web users.
