FIR #399: No More Cookies For You


Listen Later

Google is ending third-party tracking cookies on Chrome, the last of the major browsers to take this privacy-enhancing action. Without these cookies, advertisers could see as much as a 70-percent decline in revenue from online ads. What are the alternatives? Neville and Shel break it all down in this short midweek episode.

Links from this episode:

  • Massive changes coming to Google Chrome threaten to reshape the modern internet
  • Google Chrome allows end to data tracking cookies
  • Google turns off cookies for 30 million Chrome users, and that’s just 1%
  • Four months in, here’s the rundown of Google’s Chrome cookie conundrum so far
  • Google starts work on the 2nd phase of Third-Party Cookie Deprecation in Chrome (YouTube)
  • Google to Fight Cookie Hijacking With Encryption Keys for Chrome Browser
  • The next monthly, long-form episode of FIR will drop on Monday, April 29.

    We host a Communicators Zoom Chat most Thursdays at 1 p.m. ET. For credentials needed to participate, contact Shel or Neville directly, request the credentials in our Facebook group, or email [email protected].
