Monroe Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Just reading this, I have no Google accounts myself but could this happen with other accounts? I always delete cookies when I close a browser. If this is true and it reads like it is ... could be a game changer. Need to be more alert with banking and other such sites. I didn't see any mention of this already from last October.

Sampei.Nihira Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hi to all. There is no reason to keep third-party cookies enabled. But there is also this possibility: https://www.ghacks.net/2024/01/05/how-to-enable-chromes-tracking-protection-right-now/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't allowed third-party cookies in well over two decades. My ONLY exception is strictly work-related where I need the following three exceptions in order for Teams to work (I use web-based Teams and not the Desktop App). But even these delete themselves when I close my browser. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Google is like we won't let others track you, because we will and give gathered information away for a price instead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote that I blocked that flag (therefore that feature that I don't like being enabled without my consent) which is already disabled by default. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
