I only now paid closer attention at this feature on mobile Chromium where you can see number of "cookies in use" for a web page when I click on a lock icon before url. and it says 180 for CNN website - very interesting. By the way, foxnews.com uses from 16-26 cookies which is much less compare with CNN. Even for site like space.com it 70. In the mean time site like Swedish svt.se for example only 2 cookies - it will use 12 but only if I click "Accept all" on the pop-up. and German tagesschau.de uses just 8 cookies without asking. a site like Finnish iltalehti.fi will use 12-16 but if you click "Approve" on cookie pop-up number can go up to 56-80. so it is better idea to click "Refuse all" on cookies pop-ups and go to browser cookies settings and choose "Block third party cookies".
To compare with, Bromite has "Ad blocking" functionality, which is when "on", blocks most of all CNN cookies and shows only 12 of them for CNN.
