What is a cookie?IT Home reminds that only 1% of users in the world will be eligible to experience this feature at the beginning, and if you are randomly accessed, you will see a notification at that time.A cookie is a file that is created by the first time you visit. It saves your browsing information to make your browsing experience easier. For example, it allows you to stay signed in, remember your preferences, and provide you with locally relevant content.
There are two types of cookies:
First-party cookies: created by the ** you visit. The corresponding ** appears in the address bar.
Third-party cookies: created by others**. A ** you visit may have embedded content from others, such as ** ** / ads and text. Any such other** may save cookies and other data to provide you with a personalized experience.
However, according to Statcounter's November report, Google Chrome currently accounts for about 62 percent of the global browser market85% market share. Considering that there are probably billions of Chrome users today, Google's random 1% of users may not be a small amount.
Closed beta users will see a notification as shown in the picture Source: Google Google has made it clear that some** may not be able to access normally without blocking third-party cookies. In this case, you can click on the "small eyes" icon to the right of the address bar and choose to re-open the third-party cookie mode for 90 days.
When Chrome detects that a user is having an issue with a **, a prompt will also appear asking if you want to temporarily re-enable that third-party cookie. Google notes that this temporary permission will also be carried over to Incognito mode.
