Firefox now blocks cross-site tracking by default in private browsing
Yeah, didn't word that right. They already do, but the flow of info will be reversed more or less. 3rd party data was where the money was made (still is but that's changing, which is what I'm getting at in general). Now sites generating first party data (which is less extensive - doesn't track your uid with PII across the web [generally speaking]) will be able to sell that data at a premium as 3rd party cookies die but 1st party cookies remain. and this all gets back to the FLoC api.

What is going on with "birds" names for the new generation of ad targeting technologies?
Why do Google's FLoC, TURTLEDOVE, Dovekey, Criteo's SPARROW, Magnite's PARRROT, NextRoll's TERN and Microsoft's PARAKEET all have similar bird-related names? This feels very cruel considering that in most cultures birds often symbolise freedom.

Google plans to stop targeting ads based on your browsing history
It's hard to fathom that statement coming from Google, a company that's built an empire by monetizing your browsing data. Looking forward, Temkin says the search giant is planning to use privacy-preserving APIs, like the "Federated Learning of Cohorts API" (FloC), to deliver relevant ads. That solution will rely on groups of users with similar interests, rather than drilling down to your specific behavior.

Google's article yesterday on new privacy practices. What exactly are the implications for Adwords?
That's going away, they will (supposedly) no longer have a profile that says TTFV is a golf lover or scotch drinker. But they will be put into a cohort and be targeted that way instead. I, admittedly, don't quite understand how this works, although the white paper seems like it could be helpful.

Google to Stop Selling Targeted Ads Based on Browsing History
"Instead, our web products will be powered by privacy-preserving APIs which prevent individual tracking while still delivering results for advertisers and publishers."
- The Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) API is a privacy preserving mechanism proposed within the Chrome Privacy Sandbox. The goal of the FLoC API is to preserve interest based advertising, but to do so in a privacy-preserving manner.
