Third -party cookies are a pervasive tracking technology that allow companies to snoop on your online activity for surveillance and ad-targeting purposes.

By abandoning this plan, Google leaves billions of Chrome users vulnerable to online surveillance.

Google makes most of its money from tracker-driven, behaviorally-targeted ads.

Google 's decision to continue allowing third -party cookies in Chrome is a betrayal of user trust.

Google must prioritize people’s privacy over their advertising revenue and find real solutions to competition concerns.

As long as it remains legal and profitable, companies will continue building and selling profiles of your online activities.

Strong privacy legislation in the United States is possible, necessary, and long overdue.
