I disabled third-party cookies option in my chrome browser and yet cookies are being set from google.com and accounts.google.com domain to other sites like upwork.com. see screenshot: https://ift.tt/2SusPJL To see for yourself, disable third party cookies in chrome browser -> open upwork.com -> see cookies info. As per my understanding third-party cookies are those created by domains other than the one the user is visiting at the time. So, why google.com domain cookies are being set on upwork.com? Update: This issue doesn't happen in Firefox.
