    What makes me wonder is this:

    Google's authentication is used on many a website. You can enter with your Google account, which entails giving Google itself the ability to leave their third-party cookies on the website that uses their authentication method. Other platforms – such as GitHub and Apple – use similar ones.

    Under no-third-party-cookie rule, how would one be able to sign up using a "broader" account?

      I'm a little rusty on OAuth2 flows, but I'm pretty certain it doesn't use or depend on any embeds. The Google part takes place on a page that's purely a Google domain, and then redirects back to the original domain using a callback URL with a key in it - proper separation is maintained throughout.

      Google Analytics, on the other hand, definitely is an embed and gives them free access to track users across basically every site out there.

      I don't think Apple's authentication uses third-party cookies. That'd break with default settings in their own browser. This has been the case for at least three years now.
