• Privacy Sandbox: Privacy Sandbox is a multi-year initiative by Google for achieving a more private web by implementing and set of changes in the web platform, and a set privacy-centric building blocks in alignment with the new privacy model for the web we just described.

• Temporary Cookie Exemption: Chrome is providing exemptions to allow third-party cookie access for sites providing essential services in government, education, healthcare, and banking where the restriction of third-party cookies would impact user-critical functionality. Sites that are eligible for Chrome's essential site exemptions will still need to work towards transitioning away from third-party cookies. Chrome will provide at least six months' notice before the essential site exemptions are removed.

• Third-party Cookie: An HTTP cookie is a mechanism for an origin server to send state information to a user agent and for the user agent to return the state information to the origin server. Cookies enable the stateless HTTP protocol to transmit saved state information. Cookies can by set in a first-party or third-party scope. Third-party or cross-site cookies, are cookies set or sent from a different domain as compared to the top-level site being accessed by the user.
