Comment:
I think that behavior is okay. If you are concerned about the differently
sized windows and tracking identifiers persisting across them (cookies are
just one of those!) then you should get you a `New Identity` to make sure
you really got all the concerning tracking mechanisms reset. Trying to
fiddle with a single one (here: cookies) is likely to give you not the
results you want.
