1605785 - Enhanced Tracking Protection option for tab is on or off, nothing in between or adaptable

(Firefox :: Protections UI, enhancement, P3)

Attachment: Firefox - Allow Third Party Trackers Here.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0

Steps to reproduce:

Visit a page that requires cookies whilst having all third party cookies blocked by default.
Click on the shield logo to the left of the URL.

Actual results:

Enhanced Tracking Protection slider can move between on or off. Nothing more graded than that. If you switch it off, then you are suddenly exposed to every tracker on that page as it refreshes.
If you click on the Shield then on 'Third Party Cookies', it will show blocked third parties (and any allowed) but not allow them to be set from this menu.

Expected results:

For efficiency, ease, flexibility and accuracy I would prefer if Third Party Cookies could be selectively allowed from the Shield menu rather than having to find the appropriate Firefox preferences then remember (the blocked cookies aren't selectable, copyable text) and retype entries into 'Exceptions - Cookies And Site Data'.
It seems remarkably clunky at the minute. A nice one to iron out.
Am I missing something or do you agree?

Just ot carry over my comments,
"Provide a way to adjust settings per site, so for example, all Global setting to be Strict but allow setting to be set to Standard (or Custom) just for a particular site."
