SM2 is missing the cookie options based on privacy statments.
I'm using the privacy statment rules on SM 1.1.x which massivly reduces the questions on accepting cookies for me. After importing my profil from 1.1.17/18 to SM2 I was woundering why so many sites I was using for month without any cookie questions asked for setting a cookie. The reason is SM 1.1 rejected them automaticly based on my privacy rules.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on menu "Bearbeiten"
2. go to "Einstellungen" 
3. choose "Datenschutz & Sicherheit"
4. select "Cookies"
5. try to find the option

(sorry don't have an english SM installed, i'll try to translate)

1. click on menu "Edit"
2. go to "Preferneces" (or settings?)
3. choose "Privacy & Security"
4. select "Cookies"


Actual Results:  
No option "based on privacy statment"

Expected Results:  
option "based on privacy statments"

Both, Windows and SM are german versions. SM2 is freshly installed, problem occures also with a new profile.
I'm not sure if this deserves a "regression" tag, but it's a showstoper for me since this is a major feature over FireFox.
It also prevents a complet profil migration from 1.1.x

This option was removed due to complicated management and not being widely supported by websites. See bug 366611 for more details.

Okay, I read bug 366611 and got the point.
But may be there is a chance to get an "allways deny cookies from third party sites" option? This would greatly help to save privacy, get rid of all the cookie questions from add-networks and help to only deal with cookies relevant for the function of a website.
Should I fill a feature request for that?

That option exists and is just worded the other way round - "accept cookie from the originating website only" (or similar, I'm on the German version right now)

Thx for you're answer. To my own suprise I have this option allready activated. Seems like I played around with SM2 a little bit to much in the last 3 days.
Sorry for stealing you're time!

BTW: I wish you a nice holliday :-)
