😮After all that… Google is no longer eliminating third-party cookies on Chrome. On Monday, Google announced that they are planning to keep third-party cookies in the Chrome browser. Since 2019, Google has been working on the initiative to phase out third-party cookies (tiny packets of code meant to track users on the internet). Instead, users can still disable them or to enhance user privacy while preserving advertising effectiveness, Google plans to roll out a new solution: a one-time prompt that enables users to set preferences that will apply across Google browsing experiences. “We are proposing an updated approach that elevates user choice,” wrote Anthony Chavez, vice-president of Privacy Sandbox, in a blog post. “Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing, and they’d be able to adjust that choice at any time.” The news was meant with mixed reviews: "Advertising stakeholders will no longer have to prepare to quit third-party cookies cold turkey," eMarketer analyst Evelyn Mitchell-Wolf said in a statement. Lena Cohen, staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said cookies can lead to consumer harm, for instance predatory ads that target vulnerable groups. "Google's decision to continue allowing third-party cookies, despite other major browsers blocking them for years, is a direct consequence of their advertising-driven business model," Cohen said in a statement.
