I think the main reason Bloomberg is calling them ad cookies is because it is the impact on advertising that's causing this delay. Google promised regulators that they wouldn't get rid of cookies without a replacement for advertising, and those replacements aren't ready yet. On the other hand, this is really hard and I don't know if Google is actually going to be able to do this ever.
(I used to work on this)

- JoshTriplett 4y ago> Google promised regulators that they wouldn't get rid of cookies without a replacement for advertising This is an excellent example of theoretically good intentions (promoting competition) leading to terrible results (preventing the removal of something largely unwanted that's abused by advertisers).
- SilverBirch 4y agoIt might be that Bloomberg geniunely doesn't understand what these are since you can get past their soft paywall by removing their cookies.
- gruez 4y agobut those are first party cookies, not third party.
