If I go to the Los Angeles Times Web site (indicated URL) and select a particular news story, cookies from domains other than www.latimes.com are being set. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Cookie Manager to remove all unwanted cookies, including those from tacoda.net and sageanalyst.net. 2. Set preferences for cookies as I indicated in "Details" above. 3. Go to the Times Web site. 4. Select a news story. 5. View cookies via Cookie Manager Actual Results: Cookies exist for domains tacoda.net and sageanalyst.net. NOTE: As news stories and advertisers change on the Times Web site, the domains setting cookies might also change. Expected Results: No cookies should exist for domains tacoda.net and sageanalyst.net. Since the preferences for cookie acceptance fall under "Privacy & Security", this is a serious error.

I have my cookie.txt file locked (read-only). However, I just made a test with it unlocked (read-write). The problem described in this bug report was still demonstrated. Thus, this bug is not an artifact of bug #257288.

This is a pretty commonly reported "issue" that may or may not be unfixable, depending on your perspective. The original is fairly old.

I concede this is a duplicate of bug #200716. The LA Times is using JavaScript to access the sources of the third-party cookies. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 200716 ***
