Conversations around Google and shifting towards a cookieless world has been on the horizon for several years with multiple push backs from Google due to the significant change this rollout would have of Companies and Marketing.
That said, in the news on July 22nd, Google announced that they are reversing course and will not phase out third-party cookies in Chrome as they had previously planned. However, they are now opting for a new approach that gives users more control.
Across the industry, this update marks a significant shift in Google’s Privacy strategy and will come as a relief to many in the advertising industry who have been scrambling to prepare for a cookieless future across their client portfolio.
Looking into the numbers of the recent tests of Privacy Sandbox technologies, it showed promising results, according to Google:
This move suggests that Google is trying to balance privacy concerns with the needs of the ad industry and its own business model.
Despite this announcement, Google is yet to provide a specific timeline for this new launch, however, hopefully there will be no further delays to the roll out.
