In 2023, we published a finding encouraging the deprecation of third party cookies, and the development of new technologies that can replace their functionality. Today, we’re issuing an updated version of that finding to further clarify our position: third-party cookies are harmful to the web and must be removed. https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/web-without-3p-cookies/

@tag @torgo so, Google happily judges other companies on their practices, such as certificate companies that they remove, which implies that others can remove anything Google if they don’t stop supporting 3rd party cookies?
@tag @torgo also, before anyone mentions that cookie vs. non-cookie tracking is a competition problem, this is from #W3C privacy principles:
"Sharing data between different contexts of a single company can be a privacy violation, just as if the same data were shared between unrelated actors.”

Turning off 3rd party cookies is good, but good as in "good start" not final outcome
@tag @torgo
Google decided to keep third party cookies because not doing so lowered their profits.
