Impact of changing Enhanced Tracking Protection settings?

Hi! A vendor of a solution we use suggested unchecking the "Cookies" and "Tracking content" under "Privacy & Security" settings in the "Custom" section to help with an issue encountered using their services.

Would this mean giving up Firefox protections?
