> On September 5th 2018, Google announced that it would no longer share encrypted cookie IDs in bid requests with buyers in its Authorized Buyers marketplace, “as part of our ongoing commitment to user privacy”. Mr Ryan’s analysis also found that Google continued to share these with ad firms.
But now Google shares not cookies, but unique URLs. Look, they kept their promise.
- ModsCtrlideas 7y agoI too have learned not to believe in government solutions to problems. As a result I stopped searching for... Well unfortunately I'm one of those, "nothing to hide" people. Life as usual. If I needed to use google without anyone knowing, either use a public computer, or a stack of layers to remove IP, browser id, cookies, etc... Unique URLs would not trace far.
