Google Chrome's Third-Party Cookie Changes Explained

Learn about Google Chrome's plan to phase out third-party cookies and its impact on Zendesk apps.

What changes are happening with third-party cookies in Google Chrome?

Google Chrome is phasing out third-party cookies as part of its Privacy Sandbox initiative. This change will impact apps using the Zendesk Apps Framework (ZAF) that rely on cookies for functionality.

Initially, 1% of users have had third-party cookies restricted to facilitate testing, with plans to extend this restriction to 100% of users later this year. This move is aimed at reducing cross-site tracking while still allowing legitimate use cases through purpose-built APIs. For more details, you can refer to Google's announcements on the timing and solutions for these changes.
