Today on Data & The City: One Smart Cookie, we traded Cosmos for cookies — but not the good kind. 🍪💔

In a city where love is complicated and brunch plans are sacred, who knew cookies — yes, those digital crumbs — could stir up so much drama? 🍪💔

Turns out, behind every “Accept All” button is a little digital drama, and the companies tracking us are more Gossip Girl than gal pals. XOXO, surveillance.

This week on Data & The City, we're serving up privacy tea hotter than a Manhattan summer sidewalk.

✨ Chapter Highlights:

• A Call to Action – Because protecting your data is the new little black dress: essential.

Because darling, in a world full of tracking cookies, being informed is the ultimate power move. 🖤
