🚀 Breaking news: We've discovered that the web is full of cookies! 🍪 Who knew?! Apparently, third-party cookies are the wily villains of the internet, and we must embark on a noble quest to obliterate them while simultaneously finding ways to replace their dark powers. No worries, the wise sages of TAG have spoken, so everything will surely be fine. 🙄

"Google on Tuesday revealed that it will no longer offer a standalone prompt for third-party cookies in its Chrome browser as part of its Privacy Sandbox initiative.

"We've made the decision to maintain our current approach to offering users third-party cookie choice in Chrome, and will not be rolling out a new standalone prompt for third-party cookies," Anthony Chavez, vice president of Privacy Sandbox at Google, said.

"Users can continue to choose the best option for themselves in Chrome's Privacy and Security Settings."

Back in July 2024, the tech giant said it had abandoned its plans to deprecate third-party tracking cookies and that it intends to roll out a new experience instead that lets users make an informed choice.

Google said feedback from publishers, developers, regulators, and the ads industry has made it clear there are "divergent perspectives" on making changes that could affect the availability of third-party cookies.

In its place, the tech behemoth said it will continue to invest in enhancing tracking protections in Chrome's Incognito mode, which blocks third-party cookies by default. It also intends to introduce a new IP Protection feature in the third quarter of 2025."

Muscle memory now automatically right-clicks every news article and selects “Open link in new private window“ or “Open link in incognito window“ so I can just click the fucking “accept all cookies” button without having an anxiety attack. I do this for YouTube links as well.

#EU #Belgium #DataProtection #GDPR #WebCookies: "Following several noyb complaints from 2023, the Belgian data protection authority has ordered four major Belgian news sites to bring their cookie banners into GDPR compliance. Specifically, De Standaard, Het Nieuwsblad, Het Belang van Limburg and Gazet van Antwerpen must add a “reject” button to the first layer of their cookie banners. In addition, the news sites have been ordered to change the currently misleading colour scheme of the buttons used. If the controller (Mediahuis) failes to comply, it faces a penalty of €50,000 per day per website." https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-win-belgian-dpa-settlement-turned-proper-legal-orders-deceptive-cookie-banners

#Google #Chrome #Surveillance #WebCookies #Privacy: "Last week, Google backtracked on its long-standing promise to block third-party cookies in Chrome. This is bad for your privacy and good for Google's business. Third-party cookies are a pervasive tracking technology that allow companies to snoop on your online activity for surveillance and ad-targeting purposes. The consumer harm caused by these cookies has been well-documented for years, prompting Safari and Firefox to block them since 2020. Google knows this—that’s why they pledged to phase out third-party cookies in 2020. By abandoning this plan, Google leaves billions of Chrome users vulnerable to online surveillance."

#Google #GoogleChrome #PrivacySandbox #Privacy #Surveillance #WebCookies: "SIMON: A lot of us gripe and tell funny stories about what cookies drive to our screens. But in the end, do we really kind of like that, or at least we accept that as the price of having a certain convenience?

ANGWIN: So we have gotten accustomed to it. And I don't think it's a good idea for us to become accustomed to this level of surveillance, because the reality is that it can be innocuous when they want to sell you a cowboy boot, but it can be quite terrible when a bad actor wants information. And I think we are at a place where there - it's impossible to control it. And so I think there's a legitimate concern that this is an industry that's basically out of control, selling all of our personal data."

#UK #DataProtection #Privacy #ICO #Google #GoogleChrome #WebCookies #PrivacySandbox: "The ICO has raised concerns with Google’s Privacy Sandbox initiative, a set of proposed solutions to cookie deprecation designed to preserve advertising performance while improving user privacy. The ICO has pointed to a handful of possible vulnerabilities in the Sandbox’s tools that could be exploited to compromise user privacy and even potentially identify individual users who have opted out of being tracked across the web.

“We are disappointed that Google has changed its plans and no longer intends to deprecate third party cookies from the Chrome browser,” said Stephen Bonner, deputy commissioner at the ICO, in a statement shared with The Drum. “From the start of Google’s Sandbox project in 2019, it has been our view that blocking third-party cookies would be a positive step for consumers.”"
