It’s a funny thing settling into a new year as you try to shake off the Christmas indulgences and wrap your mind around everything that’s changed and everything that’s stayed exactly the same. Because it might be a new year but it’s still just another a Monday morning. One thing that has undoubtedly changed this year already, however, is Google and the so-called “death of the cookie.” On January 4th, Google started officially rolling out their plan to disable third-party cookies for 1% of Chrome users and, while the full phase-out isn’t meant to kick in until the end of the year, ad land is already starting to make plans for a cookieless 2024.
Google yesterday began its long-awaited phase out of third-party web tracking cookies when it rolled out Tracking Protection for 1 percent of users of its Chrome browser. The company plans to disable cookies entirely by the third quarter of this year. The extended phase-out aims to allow initial small-scale testing before it affects all Chrome users later this year. Google officials have urged companies that have relied on cookies, which enable cross-site tracking of users as they browse the web, to start auditing their cookie usage now to prepare for the impact from the change. To ease the transition, Google is releasing new Privacy Sandbox APIs for certain use cases, including identity, advertising, and fraud detection.
In a step towards enhancing user privacy, Google has announced that it is testing a new feature, ‘Tracking Protection,’ in Chrome. This initiative, part of Google’s broader ‘Privacy Sandbox’ project, aims to limit the ability of websites to track user activity across the internet. Let’s delve into what this means for businesses and the web landscape.
