Bug 1496243 - Show "Tracking Cookies" label in the control center when only tracking cookies are blocked. r=Ehsan
46 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review 
If a user has selected cookie behavior 4 (block third party tracking cookies), then display the following in the Control Center:
"Third-Party Tracking Cookies"

If a user has selected cookie behavior 1 (block all third party cookies), then display the following in the Control Center:
"Third-Party Cookies"

This is because, without this change, the UI for a user with behavior 4 would say "Third-Party Cookies .... Blocked", even though not all third party cookies are blocked.
Michelle, please confirm if this is okay.  Thanks!

Bryan, please also confirm.

Or should it be "Tracking Cookies"

I think for now we should say Tracking Cookies for behavior 4 because in the intro paragraph we say all the content we are blocking is third-party, so this is not necessary to specify again.

Bryan confirmed "Tracking Cookies" for behavior 4.

Hmm, FWIW there is no intro text here.  This is for the Control Centre, not Preferences...  :-/
We should still call it Tracking Cookies in the Control Center - thanks for confirming.  I realize that this isn't wholly consistent with Prefs but can rationalize that Tracking Cookies is a subset and if Third Party Cookie Blocking is enabled, this will be true if only Tracking are blocked or if All-Third party (which include tracking) are blocked.
