Building the Privacy Sandbox
summary
Privacy Sandbox is an engineering program that replaces third‑party cookies and ad IDs with concrete APIs: SDK Runtime isolates third‑party SDKs in a separate process with limited permissions and separate distribution, Topics replaces FLoC with a shared taxonomy for interest signals, plus FLEDGE and attribution reporting. Chrome and Android ship these as mainline modules (developer preview system images now, beta rollouts later) so updates go out without full OS releases; goal is to deprecate third‑party cookies after these alternatives are testable (timeline starts from 2019, Android announcement Feb 2022, web phase‑out aimed toward 2023).
