New York-Sana
Google has pledged to abandon the online advertising model based on cookies for third parties and promised not to create something similar that would allow it to continue consuming the same type of data.
Reuters quoted the director of Google's product department, David Timken, as saying in a post that Google is serious about staying away from accurate ads that violate privacy, admitting that users are tired of spying on them and feel that this puts them at risk.
Timken acknowledged that a recent study by PAW showed that 72 percent of respondents believed that almost everything they do online is being tracked by advertisers, technology companies or other companies.
Aside from Google's new concerns about what customers think, its permissive approach to privacy is increasingly in conflict with privacy regulations in Europe and America, and the company will have to do some serious work to regain the confidence of its users.
