> "all while prioritizing user privacy". The way Google mentions "privacy" in the first sentence reminds me of a mining company mentioning "the environment" in the first sentence of their plan to dig a gigantic hole somewhere. A related note: I have concerns with Google's recent nagging of website owners to upload user data to Google, under the banner of "enhanced conversions". The idea is that Google takes the user data and matches with their user accounts. So a user logged into Google who clicks an ad, can be tracked across devices without the need for third party cookies. They expect the upload to happen on the conversion page - such as the thanks page on a website contact form. To me it feels like Google are trying to convince business owners that to be "leaders in your industry" they must help Google fill the void created by third party cookie banning. Site owners are now pushed to upload every contact form submission to Google for the purpose of what is effectively next-gen third party tracking. It bothers me how blatant and obnoxious the spin is around such pressure on businesses to share their customer data with Google, when it wasn't shared before for the purpose of tracking. "Don't worry, it's hashed data" is not good enough, and not the point.
