Please explain how service workers relate to third party cookies?

Surely service worker https requests are bound by the exact same cookie rules as any third party script, resource, etc?




Service workers are a lot "stickier" than that. If you think about it, they are all about caching. A service worker activation could count as a cookie itself since it can modify future requests, and if you modify the requests in a way that it emulates a cookie being set then it is a cookie.
