Google is finally starting to block third-party cookies for internet users after years of delays, opposition and regulatory wrangling.
To begin with, only a random 1 percent of Chrome users globally will get a new web browsing feature called Tracking Protection. The update will restrict third-party cookies by default on websites, limiting their ability to track people across the web. Third-party cookies are those that are put on the site the user is looking at by someone other than the website operator.
