This evening, I cleared all private data (including cache and

Immediately after aborting their troublesome javascript,* I

cookies and discovered that google.com had set a cookie.
Now, my cookie policy at Edit | Preferences | Privacy & Security |
Cookies is "Allow cookies for the originating website only (no
third-party cookies)."
So how was Google able to set a cookie if I never visited their site?
It's bad enough that they update their dossier on me when I visit
their
own sites, do they have to do it everywhere else, too?\
More to the point, how can I set SeaMonkey to do as it says and block
third-party cookies?
--------------------
* -- They have a series of annoying scripts that grind SM to a halt
and
must be aborted before the site becomes usable. The URLs are
constantly
changing; today's version was at
<http://cdn.nhle.com/projects/ice3-ui/com.nhl.ice3.ui.t5.components/GlobalPageImports/dist/js/GlobalPageImports.min.js?v=8.9:1>.
And I'm constantly updating my custom filter in AdBlock Plus. That
isn't
my question.
Even though I default to blocking cookies, I added an exception to
block
Google cookies, just to make sure. That works. I have no Google
cookies.
That's problematic for me because I do have a gmail account and
sometimes use it to login to other
sites (as soon as I'm done, I clear the cookies and resume living
privately). nhl.com is not one of
those, and AFAIK has not been bought by Google the way Yahoo has.
I'm afraid that Google is among those who insist on setting cookies.

As usual a facebook page is unreadable and full of unneeded infos.
