Blocking third-party cookies gives you full protection in this and other situations without any major annoyances.

Other subcomments here mention it, but every time this comes up it seems most people (including the article) aren't aware that blocking 3rd party cookies is a super easy fix and IMHO should be the default of browsers.

I've only ever had issues with this at my banking site because they use a third party to host their solution (Work around is opening the iframe). But I am now going to ask them to fix this (I guess all it requires is a sudomain pointing to the third party?).

Please help spread the message and ask trouble web sites to fix their shit or if I'm completely wrong, educate me and let's move things forward.

I don't understand all the rules at play here, but from a fairness standpoint, you shouldn't be forced to sell. That is the real problem as I see it. At least people forced to sell here got some money to kind of even things out.

Can someone enlighten me here? What is the reasoning for allowing people to buy from people who don't want to sell?
