Cookies are soon to be a thing of the past; Google wants to play in the Sandbox instead. It might sound rather twee, but this marks a seismic shift in the online ecosystem that will affect us all.

This is horrible. Any "solution" for "people are not accepting cookies" will just reinforce Google's dominance over private data. This "sandbox" solutions is more of a Google's jail for your private data that they will let some people who pay them to get a pass.

What about just delegalize any company that does forced tracking including Google and Facebook instead of pretending something is being done here about this....
