title: Storage access automatically granted for tracker "https://duckduckgo.com"
body: <p>I hope I didn't miss something somewhere, but I can't get to understand what is exactly happening with what I'm doing.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm programming a webapp and in my app I open programmatically a new page to search something in duckduckgo. I'm using the following code <code>window.open("https://duckduckgo.com/?q=something")</code> which is good for me.  </p>
  
  <p>This all works fine, but I noticed that when this code is executed, in my console, the following is logged: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Storage access automatically granted for tracker "<a href="https://duckduckgo.com" rel="noreferrer">https://duckduckgo.com</a>" on "<a href="http://localhost:8000" rel="noreferrer">http://localhost:8000</a>".  </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm wondering what this means.<br>
  I'm aware that it's probably not something related to duckduckgo itself, maybe just that they are nice enough to actually log something and be transparent.</p>
  
  <p>What information is exactly shared with an external website when using <code>window.open</code>? What does this "granting access to the tracker" mean? Where is this log in my console coming from? Can an external site actually execute some javascript code in my current page? This seem strange to me and would sound disastrous for privacy.</p>
