Google announced last week that it is pushing back the timeline of its plans to phase out third-party cookies in the Chrome browser until 2023. The delay provides more time to come up with an alternative method to help advertisers make money online off targeted ads amid pleas for stronger user-privacy protections.
Google previously said it would support cookies — small bits of code stored in web browsers to track users’ activities across the web so that they can be served targeted ads — through the end of 2021.
“We need to move at a responsible pace, allowing sufficient time for public discussion on the right solutions and for publishers and the advertising industry to migrate their services,” Chrome engineering director Vinay Goel said in a blog post. “This is important to avoid jeopardizing the business models of many web publishers which support freely available content.”
Other browsers, like Apple’s Safari and Mozilla Firefox, already block all third-party cookies. As the most-used desktop browser and dominant player in search and ads, however, Google’s steps to move past cookies face intense scrutiny, both from advertisers wanting easier tracking and privacy advocates wanting less.
Google earlier this year launched Federated Learning of Cohorts, or FLoC, a solution by which the web browser categorizes users with similar interests, rather than individuals, in order to protect users’ privacy. The group identifier is used to personalize/target advertisements. The delay was due in part to some negative feedback FLoC has received on its likely effectiveness and privacy risks.
Paul Bannister, chief strategy officer at blog network CafeMedia, told The Wall Street Journal that since the vast majority of digital advertising is powered by cookies, “it’s critical that the replacement technologies get things right. It’s also critical to make sure that even more money doesn’t go to the tech giants in the process.”
Some major brands told Advertising Age that they had hoped the arrival of a cookie replacement plan would have helped the advertising industry move past legitimate privacy and data security concerns. Jonathan Halvorson, VP, consumer experience, Mondeléz, told the publication, “I want cookies to deprecate because it will advance other proposals and get things moving. Rolling it back to a later time will keep us in a purgatory of mediocrity.”
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Should Google’s delay be seen as a positive or negative for retail marketing teams? Do you think the industry can find an ideal replacement for third-party cookies that would balance privacy concerns and online targeting opportunities?
"Without a clear target date, there is less incentive for new technology to be fully developed to replace cookies and for advertisers to adopt it."
Meet: Rachel Kinsey, owner of Better Batter Bakery
Newcomerstown High School graduate, Class of 2014
Occupation: Cake Baker – Dessert Maker
Location: Newcomerstown
Facebook: Better Batter Bakery – Message Better Batter Bakery on Facebook to order or ask questions.
Services: Specialized cakes for retirements, graduations, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, weddings, and any special occasion. Better Batter Bakery also offers cookies, cupcakes, and other sweet treats, such as dipped Oreos, pretzel rods and jumbo marshmallows.
Order 24 to 48 hours ahead for a couple dozen cookies or a small cake. For larger orders, please give as much notice as possible.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself, your family, and how Better Batter Bakery came about:
A: “My husband, Danny Kinsey, and I are both graduates of Newcomerstown High School. We have been married for seven years, and are the proud parents of three daughters – Bella almost 4 years old, and twins – Charlotte and Khloee – 18 months. For the most part, I have been a stay at home mom since having the girls and was looking for a creative outlet. My hobbies are painting, drawing and art. So, when seeking ideas for a small business that I could operate with flexible hours to be available for my children, I immediately thought of baking as an artistic choice. As a child, I was very sickly and spent many hours on the couch watching Food Network. It also helps that I come from a family of excellent cooks. My mother and grandma made everything from scratch, and we always raised a large garden, so there was canning to be done, in addition, to having our own hogs and cattle. In our spare time, my family loves outside activities, including picnics, walking and window shopping.”
Q: What services does Better Batter Bakery offer:
“I began Better Batter Bakery in January of this year, and started off very busy since creating my Facebook page and getting the word out to family and friends. Word of mouth and sharing of my posts highlighting the finished product really helped market Better Batter Bakery. I feature most of my creations on the Better Batter Bakery Facebook page, including 67 cake flavor choices, as well as an equally wide range of choices for cupcakes and cookies. Sweet treats include dipped Oreos, pretzel rods, and jumbo marshmallows. There is definitely something to fit everyone’s taste in sweet treats.
“Most of my baked goods so far have been for birthdays, retirements, graduations, baby showers, and bridal showers. The graduation season has been extremely busy, and I have been receiving many orders for wedding cakes for the rest of the summer and into the fall/winter months. For smaller orders of a birthday cake or a few dozen cookies, I usually like 24 to 48 hours notice. For larger orders – as much notice as you can give me is always appreciated to plan accordingly.
“One technique I prefer on my baked items is the piping method for frosting. I am most definitely a perfectionist, and I love to challenge myself, and try new processes with piping. Whether you are thinking of artful swirls, intricate flowers, patriotic stars, etc.; you can count on me for a strictly one-of-a-kind decorated or personalized cake that will make any occasion extra sweet and extra special.”
Q: What would you like to highlight for us?
“I am sure you can tell with Better Batter Bakery offering 67 flavors of cakes that I like to experiment with new flavors. I am creative and love challenges. If you have an idea for something a little out of the ordinary, message me on the Better Batter Bakery Facebook page, and we can work to together to make your thoughts a reality.
“I present a lot of holiday offerings throughout the year, such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, July 4th, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other celebrated days in hopes of making each of those momentous tributes a sweet hit with your loved ones and friends. I absolutely love baking Christmas cookies, and I am looking forward to my first Christmas Season in business.
“I find this new venture brings me peace when the girls are napping or after they are in bed for the evening. My ultimate dream would be to actually own a bakery in downtown Newcomerstown someday. I have been contacted about providing my items to some local stores for now, and that is an idea I have been working on bringing to fruition.
“The market for high-end cakes is definitely increasing at a very high pace. Most people want customization and personalization, and you will definitely find that at Better Batter Bakery. I delight in designing a cake, cupcake, or cookie that brings a smile to your face or the recipient’s face. I desire that my items stand out as being the best of the best. I take great pride in catering to customer needs by designing, baking, icing, packing, and presenting the cake to them. A lot of love goes into each creation, and there is no compromise on quality. Every order is confirmed, discussed, and made fresh just for you. Pick-ups are in the Newcomerstown area – please message me on Better Batter Bakery’s Facebook page to order or ask questions. I am always happy to discuss options, and love hearing from current customers, and hope to meet new ones, too.”

As she eagerly watched car after car pour into the Angel Stadium parking lot, 14-year-old Hailey Heren prepared to take cookie orders, hundreds of boxes at her side.
Heading into her 10th year as a Girl Scout, the Anaheim native was facing the most challenging cookie season yet – social distancing requirements altering how she had to conduct her sales.
But with the help of innovative drive-thru events, contactless deliveries and lots of hand sanitizer, Heren sold 13,093 boxes of Girl Scout cookies – crowning her Orange County’s top seller for 2021.
Heren usually averages 4,000 to 5,000 boxes a year, she said. This year, she sold 1,000 in a day at the Angel Stadium “mega” drive-thru, which was held in March by five local troops to safely sell cookies during the pandemic.
Heren credits her new record to her troop’s booth coordinators, who worked hard to secure storefront spots, and also how the events of the past year caused more people to take interest in supporting the community, leading to more sales. She also sold cookies online.
“I sold out completely,” she said.
Heren’s success is a highlight in a pandemic-troubled selling season as Girl Scouts nationwide report millions of unsold boxes because of COVID-19, leaving them scrambling to find last-minute sellers and food banks to donate to, the Associated Press recently reported.
The Girl Scouts of Orange County sold a little more than 1.7 million boxes, according to Communications Director Caron Berkley. The previous five-year average was 2.3 million to 2.5 million boxes sold annually.
Orange County’s 228,000 remaining packages of cookies have been donated to food banks, first responders, the military and other local community organizations.
“We are turning what has been a challenging year and a challenging situation with these excess cookies into a positive,” Berkley said of the message of giving the girls are learning from the donations.
Alyssa Brown, 13, and her Irvine-based troop were among the lucky few selected to deliver hundreds of boxes to local police officers and firefighters.
“I was very happy about being able to deliver to the fire department and police station because they do deserve the thanks for everything they do for us,” Brown said.
Berkley said so many of the scouts rose to the occasion finding creative ways to safely sell amid the challenging pandemic.
The girls of Troop 1082, based at the Orange County Rescue Mission’s Village of Hope shelter in Tustin, saw an unexpectedly high number of sales this year, raising enough money to send seven scouts to Camp Scherman in the San Jacinto Mountains this year.
The girls would not be looking forward to summer camp without the generosity of buyers, said Troop Leader Elaine Murphy. A few scouts who had cookie money from last year will also attend.
Troop 1082 ended the season with 4,782 boxes sold, an increase of more than 2,000 from last year’s sales. Although some girls were able to hold last-minute booth sales, Murphy said that most of the purchases happened virtually. She also received emails from strangers wanting to buy online, who then shared the link to purchase cookies with their friends and family.
“People are looking for a cookie connection in order to buy cookies. Especially during the pandemic, people are wondering how they can help,” Murphy said.
Alyvia Williams was one of the Troop 1082 scouts able to conduct both in-person and online sales. At her last storefront booth sale, she and her younger sister sold every single box they brought with them. The sisters will both be attending Camp Scherman this summer, Williams as a returner, and her sister, Mariah, as a first-time attendee.
“My last experience at camp was amazing because, well, the food was great,” Williams, 10, laughed.
In addition to the food, she looks forward to reuniting with her fellow troop members – who she hasn’t seen in a year because of COVID – and meeting new scouts from around Orange County.
