 We might want to copy (or at least understand) the high level concept
 logic behind cookie handling of '''other leading browsers.''' Create a
 wiki linked spreadsheet or CSS table displaying color coded cookie
 features and defaults.

 === Example use case ===
 '''Question:''' Should we consider JS popups to be child windows (thus 3rd
 party context) or instantiate new DOMs for them (thus 1st party context?)
 '''Answer:''' All other browsers consider them child windows so we should
 as well.
