Description Chris Nicotra 2017-07-16 11:18:56 PDT 
Since cookies are typically used to preserve a user's opt-out, it seems like Safari's need "privacy" enhancements will have a strong negative impact from the standpoint of user's having the option to optout, since optout cookies will be removed. Is there some provision to retain the optout? 

For the activity retention to work, does the cookie need to be refreshed (reset) on a regular basis?

Resolving as invalid, as we use bugzilla to track bugs and enhancement requests, not for general discussion.
