IT Home reported on July 31 that after Google announced the suspension of the "Chrome browser forced elimination of third-party cookies" plan, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) published a blog post on July 29, reiterating its point of view:Third-party cookies must be disabled


IT Home Note: The World Wide Web Consortium, also known as the W3C Council, is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web and a semi-autonomous non-governmental organization.

W3C believes in a blog post that third-party cookies are not conducive to the development of the Internet. The main problems are:

  • track:Can track user activity across websites,

  • Distribute Ads:Based on the tracking data, accurately place advertisements and monitor user behavior

  • Data collection:Collect sensitive information of users

W3C said that the view of canceling third-party cookies has been supported by many organizations in the industry and international privacy organizations. Regulatory agencies such as the UK Information Commissioner's Office have also called for blocking third-party cookies.

W3C says its job as steward of the web's architecture requires it to focus on both the big picture (the entire web platform) and the details (proposed features and specifications).

The W3C works hard to provide guidance to specification authors so that their new technologies fill the holes that need to be filled, don’t conflict with the rest of the web, and don’t cause us avoidable headaches in the future.
