Your point is pretty useless, as you assume the web server admins want to be more secure. The opposite is the case, usually they deliberately open up their security model to accomodate 3rd party tracking scripts. For example, Content-Security-Policy headers can effectively prevent all sorts of xss attacks, but they will also prevent 3rd party tracking scripts etc.


You've misunderstood my point. It's not what the server admins want it's what the security policy will allow. If two sites, on two different domains, both use the same script, served directly from their domains, it creates absolutely no workaround for third party cookies. This is because the two sites have different origins. CSP does not create a bypass in this case.
