FLoC cohort computation only triggers on websites which call the document.interestCohort API or load ads.

- lolinder 5y agoThis is an important point if true, do you have a citation for that? I can't find anywhere in the documentation indication that sites are only included in the FLoC model if they call the FLoC API.
