Behind Google's decision to remove third-party cookies
Google's announcement to remove third-party cookies comes six months after it announced Privacy Sandbox, its own solution to replace third-party cookies that will enable publishers and advertisers to target consumers without violating privacy. The announcement will likely to impact all facets of the industry given Google Chrome's large presence across desktop and mobile.
