| | MAY 20258Google has announced that it will stop its plans to introduce an independent prompt for third-party cookies in Chrome thus permitting these advertisers to maintain using this monitoring system in the famous browser. The company made this move to cancel its 2024 plan that had established goals for third-party cookie elimination.The modification will substantially affect advertising technology operations because organizations already developed alternative cookie-free tracking methods. Privacy advocates express disapproval because the decision makes it easier for websites to track users throughout multiple sites. Although Chrome users can control cookie settings through their Privacy and Security options they will still maintain this choice after the policy change.In a blog post, Anthony Chavez, VP of Privacy Sandbox at Google, explained: "We've made the decision to maintain our current approach to offering users third-party cookie choice in Chrome, and will not be rolling out a new standalone prompt for third-party cookies. Users can continue to choose the best option for themselves in Chrome's Privacy and Security Settings."Google's Privacy Sandbox development will proceed through various alternative platforms even though standalone cookie prompts will not be implemented. The project advancing includes IP Protection for Chrome Incognito users. The projects will become available during the third quarter of this year.As a result of this change, existing trackers embedded across multiple websites will still be able to monitor user activity across the web, which may include sharing profiles with advertisers.The change implies users will not encounter an independent cookie-consent interface. The current cookie controls implemented by Chrome will serve as the standard operating procedure. Websites operating with third-party cookies for advertising and content recommendations will run uninterrupted in their present state.Importantly, users may still see highly targeted advertisements based on their browsing activity across sites, as no new privacy barrier will be enforced. For those concerned about tracking, they can opt to "Block third-party cookies" or use Incognito mode, which blocks cookies by default during private sessions. JUST INMitsubishi Electric Corporation and Nanofiber Quantum Technologies Inc. (NanoQT) jointly announced today the immediate start of a joint demonstration to develop interconnection technologies for neutral-atom quantum computers.Neutral-atom quantum computers have several advantages in terms of scalability because of their high integration and ability to use optical tweezers to flexibly control the arrangement of atoms. Nevertheless, the physical number of quantum bits (qubits) that can be controlled in one place in a detectably single system is limited due to a variety of physical constraints, including the space within which atoms can be arranged. New technologies will need to be developed in order to enable the interconnection of quantum computers and effectively "grow" the number of qubits, necessary for practical large-scale quantum computing.In this joint demonstration, a photonic quantum interface will be developed utilizing Mitsubishi Electric's advanced qubit control technologies and applying NanoQT's technology of combining Yb atoms and nanofiber cavities to implement technology to potentially demonstrate high-efficiency interconnection between neutral Yb atom quantum computers. This demonstration aims to build a photon-atom interface, ultimately leading to interconnections of neutral-atom quantum computers that have very high efficiency.Nanofiber cavities will utilize enhanced atom-photon interactions, thereby substantially improving the efficiency of producing quantum entanglement for inter-quantum computer communication. Moreover, if multiple Yb atoms can be stored in nanofiber cavities, the project can share entanglement in parallel. Together with Mitsubishi Electric's qubit control technologies, these developments will facilitate high-speed, large-capacity communication between quantum computers.
