Always Block”, in my opinion, it is really straight forward. It means that to block all first-party cookies and block all third-party cookies. Cookies aren’t necessarily bad, at least first-party cookies, for it is just a helpful way for your browser to “remember” your settings for a particular website. I don’t think it is wise to block it always. For example, when you visit Google search, you will get an annoying message where Google nudges you to use Chrome.

Allow from Current Website Only”, it is a bit complex for people. It shows that you can allow all first-party cookies and block all third-party cookies. In other words, it means strictly that only the website you are viewing is allowed to set cookies on your iPhone. Normally, I use the setting “Allow from Current Website Only”. The difference is that third-party cookies come from trackers and advertisers, while first-party cookies come from the website you actually visit.

Allow from Websites I Visit”, this option is a bit complicated to explain. When you choose the option, you allow all first-party cookies and block all third-party cookies unless that third party was a first party at one time, and it is based on current cookies and browsing history. To make it clear, let’s supposed that you normally visit the website YouTube, but you're not on YouTube right now, maybe you're reading someone's blog. And they've embedded a YouTube video in one of their posts. With this setting, when you visit YouTube again, it gets the permission to create and read cookies at that point.

Always Allow”, it gives you permission to all first-party cookies and all third-party cookies when you visit different websites.
