A leading internet standards body has slammed Google for deciding once again to leave in place support for third-party cookies in its Chrome browser — even though the privacy-invading tracking technology “is not good for the Web” and can harm users. Google’s announcement last week that it still isn’t dropping support for third-party cookies came “out of the blue” and “undermines a lot of the work we’ve done together to make the Web work without third-party cookies,” Hadley Berman, of the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C), wrote in a blog post Monday.
