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

Immediately after aborting their troublesome javascript,* I inspected my
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 thought it was Microsoft that bought Yahoo?
