 What stops server operators from storing the cookie data in DOM
 storage or IndexDB? No matter what a server operator uses cookies for, he
 can use any other storage for exactly the same purpose!

Indexed database and local storage can indeed be used for tracking in the same
way cookies can. It seems reasonable to control access to them based on the
cookie preference. Session storage, not so much. Cookie data could be stored,
but it can't be retrieved outside of that one tab. Session storage works very
differently from session cookies. It's not possible to use it for exactly the
same purpose.

There may be privacy issues with session storage, but they're different enough
to at least consider treating it separately from the cookie policy. Cache
storage can also be used for tracking, but it's not controlled by the cookie
preference.
