Software Developer’s Cartel

This month we have our Dave Jones presenting “Why is Google Killing Cookies, and what to do about it…”.

Presentation description: Google is in the process of removing certain cookie capabilities from the Chrome browser. We’ll discuss: What exactly are cookies and where did they come? Why privacy advocates have been pushing for this for some time. Why marketing companies are not happy. Why the UK Competition Commission is getting involved. We’ll also discuss what to do if a web site stops work for you and Google’s timeline.

Here is a recent Wall Street Journal article addressing some of the deployment and adoption pressing issues: https://www.wsj.com/tech/google-is-finally-killing-cookies-advertisers-still-arent-ready-7582fcac
