Marketing Experts Warn It’s ‘not Time To Slow Down’ Amid Google’s Cookiepocalypse Delay
Cookies won’t be wiped from Chrome until 2024, per a new announcement out of Google’s Privacy Sandbox. The news spells good fortune for many marketers, developers and publishers, who will now have more time to innovate and adapt as they pour resources into developing alternative privacy-preserving ad solutions. Even so, the industry is still feeling the heat.
Google Chrome’s elimination of third-party cookies — the tech that’s used to track internet users’ behavior across the web for targeted advertising purposes — has officially been pushed back to 2024.
The move will not only allow Google’s Privacy Sandbox team more time to one new privacy-centric APIs, but will also provide developers and advertisers with a longer runway for establishing their own effective privacy-preserving technologies for the future of advertising and information brokering.
