Google has announced plans to stop supporting tools designed to follow internet users across the web in order to target them with specific advertising. Such tools are known as cookies. These are small data files that are stored on an internet user’s computer as they browse different websites. This data can be read by web servers to identify web browsing behaviors of the user. Cookies make it possible for users to avoid having to repeatedly enter their user-names and passwords to get access to websites they use often. But the use of cookies raises major privacy concerns, with critics saying a user’s browsing history should not be recorded just to target them with ads. Google announced in 2020 it had decided “to remove support for third-party cookies” from its Chrome browser.
