How about we sessionize only 3rd party HTTP cookies from sites that are on
our tracking protection list?  That seems the most targeted way to
encourage ad networks to bump up to HTTPS with a minimal amount of
collateral damage to other users of 3rd party HTTP cookies.

The IAB recently announced a "LEAN Ads" initiative [1]: Light, Encrypted (HTTPS), Ad Choice supported, and Non-invasive.

When the IAB agrees ad networks should use HTTPS, clearing HTTP cookies from third parties and/or sites on the Tracking Protection list becomes an easier sell, policy-wise. We're not talking about blocking cookies or content, just reducing the cookie lifetime.
