Yes, WebKit uses per-page scope whereas Gecko has a more relaxed model. Both are allowed and have been discussed extensively. WebKit’s position is that just because the user allows a third party to identify them on one page doesn’t mean they allow it for all pages on that site.

As an example, imagine the user wants to comment on a story on news.example with their social.example account. That does not imply that the user henceforth wants social.example to identify them on all pages on news.example and be able to track all the news they read there.
