Google delays third-party cookies removal

The company postponed the removal of third-party cookies in its browser to the second half of 2024

Google announced a new extension on the phased removal of third-party cookies from its Chrome browser, a process that will take longer than planned and that it hopes to start in the second half of 2024.

Third-party cookies are those that do not originate from the websites of the owners, but are generated by services or providers external to these pages. Initially, the company indicated that it planned to conclude this process in the following two years, in June of last year it recognized that it needed more time to finish them.

He then indicated that, although he had estimated to eliminate them completely by 2022, he postponed the deadline until the end of 2023 and that he “intends” to start withdrawing them in mid-2024.

Now, Google said it proposed a new extension from Google Privacy Sandbox, the initiative that works on technologies that protect the privacy of users and that is in charge of this task.

“We intend to begin phasing out third-party ‘cookies’ in Chrome in the second half of 2024,” the company’s vice president, Anthony Chavez, said in a statement posted on his blog.
