Deep dives

Understanding Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies originated as simple tools designed to enhance user experience on websites by collecting information on device types and user behavior. Over time, their use expanded significantly, leading to extensive profiling of user interests and habits across the internet. However, growing concerns about privacy and consumer tracking prompted regulatory scrutiny and the decline of these cookies, particularly as prominent browsers like Safari and Firefox began limiting their use. Recent movements from Google suggest that while third-party cookies may have modifications, their eventual disappearance is likely due to user choices and browser policies prioritizing privacy.
