Twitter has introduced third-party login support, letting users create accounts and log in to the social network with their Apple or Google accounts (via 9to5Mac). Currently, there doesn’t appear to be a way to link your Apple or Google account to an existing Twitter account, so third-party login is (at least for the moment) limited to accounts created using the feature. The feature reportedly showed up in the Twitter beta last month, but now it appears to be more widely available. I… Source link

Blue | Bloomberg | Getty Images Google is pushing back its timeline to deprecate third-party tracking cookies from 2022 to 2023, giving the digital advertising industry more time to plan for more privacy-conscious targeted ads.  Cookies are small pieces of code that websites deliver to a visitor’s browser and stick around as the person visits other sites. They can be used to track users across multiple sites to target… Source link

Google is announcing today that it is delaying its plans to phase out third-party cookies in the Chrome browser until 2023, a year or so later than originally planned. Other browsers like Safari and Firefox have already implemented some blocking against third-party tracking cookies, but Chrome is the most-used desktop browser, and so its shift will be more consequential for the ad industry. That’s why the term “cookiepocalypse” has taken hold. In the blog post announcing the delay,… Source link

Britain’s competition regulator said on Friday it had secured commitments from Google (GOOGL.O) about the tech giant’s proposal to remove third-party cookies from its Chrome browser. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the commitments were a result of action it launched against the U.S. company in January following concerns that its proposals could restrict competition in digital advertising. read more Third-party cookies are used by digital advertisers to personalise and target… Source link

Will ‘Federated Learning of Cohorts’ preserve user privacy? The jury is still out Over the years, web developers have dreamed up dozens of cute error pages to remind visitors to switch on cookies in their browsers. Most are riffs on the eponymous baked snack (“Will work for cookies”) or Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster. But the Cookie Monster may soon have fewer job opportunities – at least, that’s if Google gets its way. The internet giant… Source link

Farewell, advertising cookie. After years of debate, Apple Inc. and Google are making separate moves to effectively kill the software marketers use to track your online activity and tailor ads specifically for you. The moves are upending the way companies have reached audiences and made money from ads since the earliest days of the internet. Apple’s plan has pleased privacy advocates but left mobile app developers, ad-tech firms and rivals (chiefly Facebook Inc.) worried and fuming. And

Google’s plan to replace third-party cookies is–on one level–really quite brilliant. Google’s entire business depends heavily on the ability to track users in order to identify their interests, and then show them “personalized ads” based on their web activity. The third-party cookie is a huge part of that business, which means it makes sense Google would want to be leading the way on whatever replaces it. Cookies, if you remember, are little snippets of code that websites use to identify… Source link

To improve security, an administrator can block all third-party API app access to Workspace data, but more targeted methods may be better overall. Recently, Google added a Workspace security setting that lets an administrator choose to block all third-party API access. By default, the setting is not active, but when enabled, it blocks OAuth and API connections… Source link

Bloomberg End of Suez Snarl Marks Beginning of New Stress on Global Trade (Bloomberg) — Now removed from the Suez Canal’s main channel, the Ever Given leaves in its wake several weeks or months of disruptions across a world economy where the pandemic revealed both the sturdy backbone of global trade and an Achilles’ heel.“It’s not a cork-out-of-a-bottle moment,” said Peter Aylott, director of policy at the U.K. Chamber of Shipping. “We could still be days away from the canal being… Source link
