My feed is drowning with posts about Google Chrome announcement saying goodbye to third-party cookies. Oftentimes depicted as some kind of doomsday accompanied by the necessary dramatic, AI-generated apocalypse art...
Seriously, who gives a f*ck?
• For the everyday internet surfer, guess what? Your cat videos and meme scrolling remain unaffected. The digital world keeps spinning.
• Marketers, listen up: it's high time to get over your third-party cookie addiction. That ship has sailed, and it's not coming back. Embrace the new era of ethical data use, why don't you?
• Agencies screaming "cookie apocalypse" or "cookieless future" are just stirring the pot. It's Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) at its finest. They're like magicians trying to distract you while luring you into their next shiny object trick.
• Big tech giants touting this as a win for privacy, and then sneakily rolling out tech that's potentially more invasive is not just ironic, it's hypocritical. (I'm thinking about Google initial attempt with FLoC and FB browsing history.)
