Google’s tools for replacing cookies are intended to help the industry meet business goals while respecting consumer privacy, they said.

There isn’t light at the end of the tunnel, it’s another train coming.

Whenever Google says something like “respecting consumer privacy,” I expect the worst.

They’ll “respect privacy” just like they “don’t share or sell” our data.

And you’re still right to suspect the pause before ‘legally.’
