All three use SameSite=Lax and are limited to this site. They are strictly necessary: without the voter id the same browser could vote again, and without the country cookies the map would ask you to pick a country on every visit.

We do not set cookies for advertising, social plugins, or analytics. Fonts are served with the site, not loaded from a third party in your browser.

Clear cookies for this site in your browser settings. The next visit creates a new voter id. Earlier votes stay inside the country totals and are no longer tied to this browser, so the map still shows them. You will be asked for a country again.
