Under discussion, a bill to change how data is stored.
Google Chrome’s Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC), one of a number of APIs Google Chrome has been developing and testing as part of its Privacy Sandbox in the last year, is the subject of a new white paper published by GitHub. Google reports being ‘very pleasantly surprised,” by results so far for FLoC as an advertising industry alternative to use of third-party cookies. FLoC uses machine learning algorithms to group people into segments by behavior and interests while at the same time keeping them unidentifiable by not revealing specific identifiers.
Procrastinators of the world can throw a party whenever they get around to it: Google has once more pushed back complete third-party cookie deprecation. The new target is “early next year.” Reasons for the delay include concerns expressed by U.K. data regulator Information Commissioner’s Office, an ongoing inquiry by the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority, and widespread discontent in the advertising ecosystem.
