Apple’s Safari Cut Off All Workarounds For Cross-Site Tracking – Now What?

Apple’s announcement Wednesday that it will fully block all third-party cookies in Safari by default and that it’s cracking down on any effort to circumvent tracking prevention shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. And in terms of what this means for advertisers, publishers and ad tech companies, the answer is: More of the same.... Continue reading »

Google Will Limit Cross-Site Tracking In Chrome By Default Starting In February

Is Google planning its own version of Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention? Never say never. Google is less than two months away from instituting a policy change within the next iteration of Chrome that will severely limit cross-site cookie sharing, and most ad tech companies seem blithely unaware. Starting Feb. 4, and to coincide with the... Continue reading »

Firefox Tool Shows Users How Much They’re Being Tracked

Transparency, notice and choice are good for privacy, right? Not if people are overloaded with too much information, according to Firefox, which released a Ghostery-like tool on Tuesday as part of Firefox 70 that shows users how many trackers are tracking them. Overdoing it on transparency actually creates opacity that puts the onus on users... Continue reading »

Safari Is Experimenting With An API That Could Limit Cookie Storage To Logged-In Users

WebKit, the open source browser engine that powers Apple’s Safari, is in the very early stages of testing an API that would give browser operators the ability to see whether users are logged in to a website or not. Steven Francolla, head of global publisher strategy at LiveRamp, recently came across a reference to the... Continue reading »

Mozilla’s CMO On The ‘Perfect Future’: Plain Language, A Value Exchange And An Opt-In

Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, CMO of Firefox parent company Mozilla, has fiery opinions about technology companies that use privacy as “nothing more than a communications ploy.” “Most organizations aren’t taking the right steps to treat people like human beings, and that’s a big problem,” said Kaykas-Wolff, who’s been with Mozilla for more than four and a half...

How Safari’s ITP 2.3 Update Is Cracking Down On Link Decoration ‘Abuses’

One more cookie workaround bites the dust, in Safari at least. The latest iteration of Intelligent Tracking Prevention, ITP 2.3, is cracking down on localStorage and other tracking mechanisms that try and outfox ITP. The change was already in the code base, but hadn’t yet been publicized. LocalStorage is a form of web storage that... Continue reading »

Apple Clarifies Its Anti-Tracking Policy For Safari – And Possible Exceptions

Apple shed light on its policy on cross-site tracking prevention last week and, if you read between the lines (and use a magnifying glass), it’s leaving the door slightly cracked on a potential workaround for certain tracking-related use cases. The document, posted on Wednesday, is designed to make plain, if it wasn’t already, Apple’s intentions... Continue reading »

Firefox Is Running A Test To Ensure That Killing Third-Party Cookies Doesn’t Also Kill Its Own Revenue

Firefox is starting to block third-party tracking by default, which will throw a wrench into the business model of any company that relies on cookies. But that doesn’t mean Firefox doesn’t care about how this change affects the bottom line – especially its own. Beyond the normal usability testing done before rolling out a new... Continue reading »

‘Do Not Track’ Rides Again In Bill To Block Online Data Collection

Remember Do Not Track? It’s back. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, is reviving the decade old concept in proposed legislation that aims to let consumers opt out of online tracking beyond just browser-based activity. In its original form in 2011, Do Not Track (DNT) relied on voluntary participation from browsers to respect a consumer’s desire to... Continue reading »

Google Chrome Dials Up Browser Privacy Protections In Answer To Safari ITP

Google Chrome is increasing its privacy controls for users and will scramble efforts by third parties to identify users via fingerprinting, making it the last major browser to strengthen its privacy protections for users. The changes, formally unveiled during the Google I/O event Tuesday, will roll out in coming months. Chrome will make it easier... Continue reading »
