Google announced today that it will continue to support third-party cookies in its Chrome web browser after all, over four years after it announced plans to phase out support for those cookies.
In January 2020, Google announced it would start to phase out support for the use of third-party cookies in its Chrome web browser. At the time, Google stated that its plan was part of its Privacy Sandbox program that was first announced in August 2019 and that getting rid of third-party cookies in Chrome would make it safer to surf on the web.
The initial plan was to slowly end support for third-party cookies in Chrome in 2022. However, the timeline for those plans kept being pushed back by Chrome.
