Google will keep third-party tracking cookies on Chrome as they are

Google has maintained its current approach to third-party cookie choice in Chrome, despite recent legal challenges and delays caused by regulatory hurdles like the UK's Competition and Markets Authority and the US Department of Justice. Instead of removing these cookies, Google will focus on enhancing privacy protections through features such as IP Protection later this year and continue refining tools like Safe Browsing and built-in password safeguards within the Privacy Sandbox initiative.
