Let me try to clarify, then. We decided that the default cookie jar for
WebKitGTK+ will have the "no third party" policy set. Most non-trivial
applications will override the default cookie jar, and set their own policy
(Epiphany already does this, for instance).

We thought this would be enough, but there are clearly some tests that need to
set third party cookies, so we also implemented the DRT infrastructure to set
the cookies acceptance policy: (see
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36056).

The process was a bit convoluted, mostly because I failed to do a more
appropriate research on how this was handled by other ports (mea culpa there),
but I think we got what we need: our default policy is set to the value we
want, applications can override it, the layoutTestController infrastructure is
implemented, and is being used by DRT.
