            Bug ID: 188109
           Summary: Resource Load Statistics: Remove partitioned cookies
                    for reduced complexity, lower memory footprint, and
                    ability to support more platforms
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

We should remove partitioned cookies to achieve the following:

1. Simplify the model. Third-parties now have a way to get to their first-party cookies through the Storage Access API. Juggling multiple cookie jars is hard for developers. With just one cookie jar and the Storage Access API, things will be much simpler.

2. Lower the memory footprint. By not accepting multiple sets of cookies for one domain, we lower our memory use.

3. Partitioned cookies requires support in the HTTP layer below WebKit. By removing that requirement we increase the flexibility of the feature and can make Resource Load Statistics work on more platforms.
