Why are Google cookies getting sent to third-party website even after completely cleaning my browser?

I just cleared all my browser's data and opened a new Incognito window. I navigated to askubuntu.com and logged in.

Interesting, in one of the first requests cookies are getting sent back to askubuntu that appear to be of the Google Analytics style.

What I am wondering is how can cookies on one domain (Google) get sent to a third party domain (AskUbuntu) ?

I think the answer is in your question: "in one of the first requests cookies are getting sent back". If it's not the first request, then it's normal to have cookies sent back, since they would have been set earlier by Google Analytics.

What I see is that you have the preserve logs option on, and before the request to askubuntu.com, there are others requests, which tells me this is a subsequent request, not the first one.

Do this:

  • Close/Reopen an incognito window
  • Uncheck preserve logs
  • Go to askubuntu.com

--> Look at the very 1st request to askubuntu.com, there won't be any GA cookies in it.
