When you go to any website using Google or Google Chrome, you might see a button that says “Accept All Cookies.”
If you click on it, the website promises to provide better services. However, by accepting these cookies, the website can track your information.
Google Chrome has introduced a new feature. This feature stops websites from tracking your data. Before 2024, many users received this gift from Google.
Why is this important?
Websites use the tracked data to show you ads based on your interests.
Now, with this new feature, users can prevent websites from collecting their data.
What about third-party cookies?
Google added a feature to Chrome that lets users turn off third-party cookies. These cookies are small files stored on your device when you open a website.
They’re the reason you see the same ads repeatedly after searching for something. This can be annoying for many people.
Not for everyone yet
Right now, Google is testing this feature with a small group of users. It’s not available for everyone yet.
Google plans to make this feature available for all Chrome users worldwide in a few months.
