Comment #5 on issue 16658 by saso.badovinac: Cross-Context Leakage of First-party cookies to Third-party cookies http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16658
if you read some of the comments on those pages you will see that the whole idea of this second test "Cookie Contexts" is how third-party cookies are handled. so it only happens when we restrict third-party cookies because this test tests the trick when you visit a page and third-party cookies are blocked directly from the "first-party" page, then they redirect you to the third-party page, so that that third-party page becomes briefly a first-party and is able to set a cookie as a first-party, but then redirects you back to the original page, NOW our purple dots happens, we have our third-party cookies blocked so sites are not able to set/install them, but using the above trick they ware able to set them as a first-party and are now able to read/track them as third-party. so the issue here is to block outgoing cookies. alot of detailed informations around this can be found at http://www.grc.com/cookies/ from the page http://www.grc.com/cookies/fameandshame.htm it can be seen that only firefox and opera seems to be doing this (passing this test) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
