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.
