Google is now starting to track your site visitors for advertising purposes even when you’re not using Google Analytics or having any relationship with Google.
I took a closer look at Google’s Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) initiative and how you can fight back and opt-out as a web user and a web developer.
In theory this is a good alternative to cookies, however there are other sites that are also good alternatives. I suggest looking into the site twik for all things web personalization.
tl:dr
Users: don't use Google Chrome
Web devs: include an opt-out line for your website
(Q on that: is that open to anyone using a website builder that allows for html code injection? Phrase "web devs" might make them feel excluded)
