Apple's Safari Now Blocks Cookies By Default
- The Verge, Wednesday, March 25, 2020 8:12 AM
With its latest update, Apple’s Safari browser now fully blocks third-party cookies by default, The Verge reports. “That means that, by default, no advertiser or website is able to follow you around the internet using the commonplace tracking technology,” it writes. “It’s a significant milestone for web privacy, and it puts Apple’s browser officially two whole years ahead of Chrome, after Google said in January that it would start phasing out third-party cookies but not fully until some time in 2022.”
