The buzz around a cookieless world has reached a fever pitch, driven by growing concerns about privacy and fueled by Google’s repeated delays in phasing out third-party cookies. But this isn’t the end of cookies – it’s a transformation. Cookies still have a role in digital marketing’s future, but only if used responsibly. Cookies have been cast as the antagonist in the narrative of internet privacy, but they’re more like misunderstood characters. The real drama lies not in their disappearance but in how browsers are rewriting the rules. Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) is a prime example. While framed as a privacy tool, it’s also a strategic move aimed at weakening the data dominance of tech giants like Google and Facebook. The fallout?
