Google scraps plan to remove third-party cookies from Chrome

After years of plans for a phase-out, Google announced it is planning to keep user-tracking cookies deployed to its Chrome internet browser.

"Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing, and they'd be able to adjust that choice at any time," Anthony Chavez, vice president of the Google-backed Privacy Sandbox initiative, said in a blog post on Monday.
