As Google phases out third-party cookies in Chrome, the idea of them disappearing by the end of the year has become about as clear as a foggy day in London.  In fact, some ad executives are putting their money on cookies waving goodbye sometime in the first quarter of next year. They just can’t see it happening anytime before then, despite Google’s insistence that they will be gone before the year is done — especially not when the market considers that its alternative (the Privacy… Source link

Google is giving websites the opportunity to request additional time to transition away from third-party cookie dependencies.

NEW DELHI, Oct 25 (Reuters) – Alphabet Inc’s Google should not restrict app developers from using third-party billing or payment processing services in India, the country’s antitrust body said on Tuesday, as it fined the U.S. giant $113 million for anti-competitive practices. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) said Google (GOOGL.O) used its “dominant position” to force app developers to use its in-app payment system, noting the sale of in-app digital goods is a key means for developers… Source link
