Google AdSense first-party cookie control updates: essential insights for advertisers and publishers
Google AdSense is making important changes to its first-party cookie settings, aimed at enhancing usability and increasing access to third-party demand. These updates are significant for advertisers and publishers alike, as they streamline cookie controls and improve the overall advertising experience.
With the upcoming changes, users will notice that the controls for "first-party cookies" and "personalization" have been combined into a single setting. This new approach simplifies the management of cookie settings, making it easier for users to enable crucial features. When the combined control is activated, it enables first-party cookies, allows sharing with demand sources, and supports personalization efforts. This level of integration is expected to provide users with a more cohesive and user-friendly experience.
Starting from December 4, 2024, Google will also share first-party cookies with Authorized Buyers, which can enhance advertising opportunities. However, it's important to note that this sharing will not occur in regions that have stricter privacy regulations, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and California. This aspect is crucial for advertisers to consider, as it ensures compliance with local laws while still offering opportunities for broader engagement.
For those who currently use cookies for personalization, the sharing feature will be enabled by default, allowing for seamless integration of third-party demand. On the other hand, if you do not use cookies for personalization, the sharing option will remain turned off. This distinction is essential for agencies and marketers to understand to optimize their AdSense accounts effectively.
As an AdSense manager or digital marketer, it’s vital to assess whether your AdSense account is prepared for these changes. Understanding the implications of first-party cookie sharing and personalization settings can significantly impact your advertising strategy and effectiveness.
In conclusion, Google AdSense's updates to first-party cookie controls represent an essential evolution in digital advertising practices. By simplifying settings and enhancing third-party demand access, Google is aligning itself with the needs of advertisers while being mindful of privacy considerations. Be sure to review your account settings and prepare for these updates to maximize your advertising potential.

Highly recommend Matteo to set up your server side tracking. He has a deep understanding of e-commerce tracking and will go above and beyond to make sure everything is set up correctly and working 100%. If you are scaling your store this set up is non-negotiable in my opinion and there isn't many people who have this much knowledge or put the effort in to get it right. Thanks again!
