Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

When a cookie is stored, it has an attribute of "domain", which creates a restriction in which websites can subsequently access that cookie. For example, if you browse to example.org and it sends a response header with Set-Cookie: test="somevalue", then you browse to dodgysite.com, that site can not access the test cookie for the example.com domain.
You can press F12 and look at the network tab and then cookies, to see what cookies are sent and received in the http exchanges. You can look in the local data in your browser settings to find out what cookies are stored against a given site, but you can't easily tell which cookies are used by a website because the browser will simply include all cookies for that site in every request.
