Privacy on the web

Brave is a new privacy-focused browser that blocks third-party cookies by default. At the same time, the browser let users opt-in to a targeted advertising system, with personalized ads based on the user's browsing history. Brave claims that the browsing history is always analyzed locally.

In what ways are cookie-based ads a bigger privacy risk for users than the Brave ads system?

(Choice A)
Ads targeted on third-party cookies have access to more of a user's history than the local browser history.
(Choice B)
Third-party cookies have access to the date and time of the user's browsing habits, so they can discover more about the user than the local browsing history.
(Choice C)
Third-party cookies include a user's geolocation, so cookie-based ads can reveal more about a user's physical location.
(Choice D)
When ads are dependent on third-party cookies, that means the user's browsing habits are stored in the cloud somewhere.
