Yesterday, January 4, 2024, Google started blocking third-party cookies Chrome. In this first phase, 30 million users, or 1%, had to disable this feature. This initial group was a random selection, but it wouldn’t last.
If you’re part of this first group, when you open Google Chrome on your computer or Android, the browser will ask you if you want to “browse more privately.” accepting, Third-party cookies will be restricted by default, which will limit the ability of different websites to track your activity on different websites However, if a site does not work properly, there is a possibility to rehabilitate these files if you wish.
If you’re wondering how Facebook and other sites always know exactly what you’re thinking about, it’s thanks to cookies. These files record your data. This ranges from knowing what you do on a site, what tools you use, where you connect, how you got to a particular page.. That way, multiple sites can discover your interests quickly, easily, and without you even realizing it
While it is true that Google Chrome is not the first browser to encounter third-party cookies, Yes it represents a strong blow for these files, since Chrome is one of the most popular browsers right now. Thus, it is the first step to ensure that users are more protected. In related matters, Google announced the new cheap Chromecast Similarly, Google removed a popular feature from Chrome.
Editor’s note:
Undoubtedly, a good decision on Chrome’s part. Although cookies still exist, and at the moment this option is only available to 1% of users, gradually it will be an element that will be reduced in our daily browsing.
