Why does site asks me to accept privacy policy again on every new tab I open within this site on Firefox?

I am a new Linux user with an installation of Ubuntu 18.04 and firefox 77.0 is the default browser. When I visit a site I am asked to accept the site's privacy policy.Once this is done, I click a page within this site to open in a new tab and in the new tab I am asked again to accept the site's privacy policy! This happens in all new tabs I open within a site. I have tried disabling enhanced tracking protection completely or for specific sites (the "shield" sign to the left of the site address) but there is no change. I would imagine it is a matter of the site not finding a cookie in my machine, so it doesn't recognize that I have visited the site again and treats me as a new visitor, right? I have fiddled with all firefox privacy and security settings but there is no change as well. Please enlighten me :) thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply

Unfortunately, the preferences menu is somewhat different from what you describe. I include a screenshot where you can see that there is no such option about third party cookies (not in the cookies section either).

The version of firefox is 77.0.1 (64-bit)

thank you in advance

I found the section regarding cookies and I disabled blocking ALL cookies and I still have the same problem... I include screenshots of the menu
