      Whenever Google says something like “respecting consumer privacy,” I expect the worst.

      They’ll “respect privacy” just like they “don’t share or sell” our data.

      It’s really “security.” Every big tech company is trying to sell us on “security” over privacy, because as we all know, they are 100% secure and have no data breaches. In fact, it’s even against the law to hack them!

      Google’s changes target third-party cookies the online ad industry places on websites to track users around the internet.

      Literally what they are doing.

      1st party cookies are not affected.
