This is not privacy, but it is more privacy than third-party cookies.
- woofie11 5y agoCookies identify you only to the site setting the cookie. When doubleclick.net started scraping my data, I blocked them. Problem gone. FLoC gathers data from *all* my web browsing activity. In addition, I have a nearly unique fingerprint from browser fingerprinting already. This makes it almost certainly unique. It's not more privacy than cookies. It's a lot less.
