Google Privacy Sandbox reaches a depth of six feet
Once again, we sift through the digital aftermath of a Friday news cycle to find the story that was meant to be a footnote, not a headline. This weekโs selection is from Googleโs 5+ year saga to end third-party cookies with the Privacy Sandbox initiative.
Paradoxically, it will be Googleโs Privacy Sandbox and key technologies going away after years of regulatory debates followed by detours. So, enjoy those not-quite-dead-yet third-party cookies with a nice tall glass of spilled privacy milk. ๐ช๐ฅ

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Appleโs first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
