 Developers may submit changes to their sets to add or remove sites. Since membership in a set could provide access to cross-site cookies via automatic grants of the [[STORAGE-ACCESS]], we need to pay attention to these transitions so that they don’t link user identities across all the FPSs they’ve historically been in. In particular, we must ensure that a domain cannot transfer a user identifier from one First-Party Set to another when it changes its set membership. While a set member may not always request and be granted access to cross-site cookies, for the sake of simplicity of handling set transitions, we propose to treat such access as always granted.
