There’s a couple of important things to note here.
First, the new Permissions-Policy: browsing-topics=() (or the old FLoC Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()) will ban this functionality, which is nice if you don’t want to leak your user’s data to Google for advertising purposes. I just checked and my site is still sending it so nothing to worry about here.
Secondly, the initial list of topics can be found at https://github.com/jkarlin/topics/blob/main/taxonomy_v1.md https://github.com/jkarlin/topics/blob/main/taxonomy_v1.md . “/Finance/Grants, Scholarships & Financial Aid” is interestingly scary as a target group. They’re also weirdly American (“/Finance/Insurance/Health Insurance”, putting reggae under “World Music”, etc.)
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoRe: "weirdly American", I suspect that Google sourced the current topic list from an already existing list elsewhere. (Maybe the larger IAB list that is mentioned in the readme?) It seems unlikely Google would use some of these terms in the year of our Lord 2022. For instance, the category including the word "Shareware" seemed particularly turn of the millennium.
