In the fast-paced world of digital advertising, major players like Google are steering towards a cookieless future. Chrome's recent rollout of Tracking Protection, limiting third-party cookies by default, is a game-changer for marketers relying heavily on these cookies for targeted ads.

The Countdown Begins: Google's Move Away from Third-Party Cookies

Google is officially phasing out third-party cookies, with Tracking Protection gradually reaching Chrome users worldwide. Starting at 1% of users from January 4, 2024, the plan is to hit 100% by Q3 2024, pending any UK Competition and Markets Authority concerns.
