Introduction
On January 4, 2024, Google Chrome initiated a pivotal testing phase for its new Tracking Protection feature. This feature, designed to limit cross-site tracking, achieves its goal by restricting access to third-party cookies by default. Initially, this testing phase will impact 1% of Chrome users worldwide. The broader objective is to completely phase out third-party cookies for all users in the latter half of 2024, marking a significant shift in online privacy and data management practices.
