Google didn't invent cookie-deprecation, so should the speed at which the ad industry adopts cookieless solutions be dependent on Google anymore? Especially now that they are facing a new multi-billion dollar fine. lnkd.in/ek_xDcJs #cookielessfutur…lnkd.in/eTx--Cc4

Is the Cookie-pocalypse really going to arrive in 2024? Google first announced they would deprecate the 3rd party cookie in 2020. Three years later and several more announcements, the details are emerging of a phased approach. It sounds like it could hap…lnkd.in/e9Fm_G5i
