Google apparently announced, they would stop most types of tracking.
Whats up with that and why would they give up their almost monopoly on advertisement.
Am I missing something?

    Probably to do with the backlash with Apple enforcing apps now provide details about what personal info is tracked and what is anonymised.

    I've read they'll use the webbrowsers user agent to group people into target groups. Like if you've got an iphone or a windows pc. And with some machine learning magic they get similar sales results.

    What would be really nice if the european union came up with a law that banned tracked personalised ads.

    The key here is **third party** harvesting of individual data

    @10Dev That's just different business model, if you're self-hosting, you're paying, if it's free, someone else is paying. There aren't much FOSS running at a scale Google products run.

    @theabbie entirely true. FOSS wasn’t built for the web, where google dominates

    Can’t remember where I saw it? But I was presuming most companies were moving away from cookies and are now encouraging API integrations for tracking. Facebook suggested I implement this method 💁🏼‍♀️

    They are marketing the need to destroy third party cookes.
    They will still track users with other means like universal ID from the iab.
