Chrome drops plan to remove third-party cookies and the standalone prompt

22 April 2025In force

Who is affected

All online stores and their ad measurement tools

What it changes

Third-party cookies stay available in Chrome, so the mass cut-off announced since 2020 does not happen and the timeline is uncertain again.

What to do

Nothing to fix in your theme: this change comes from the browser, not from your store. It makes server-side measurement more reliable than anything depending on your visitor's browser.
