Privacy Sandbox Developer Support

Summary - ask your Privacy Sandbox developer question in the Discussions!

You can learn more about the Privacy Sandbos and the associated projects at:

• web.dev/digging-into-the-privacy-sandbox
• www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandbox
• privacysandbox.com

These efforts are divided into three main areas:

1. 🧰 Replacing functionality served by cross-site tracking
2. 🍪 Phasing out third-party cookies
3. 🕶️ Mitigating workarounds

As these changes come to the web platform, Chrome, and other browsers it means that you, as a web developer, will have changes to make to your sites. Either to take advantage of new APIs or to ensure that you’re taking into account new restrictions.

Our aim is to land these with clear documentation and minimal disruption, but it’s likely you’re going to have questions and we’re here to try and answer them! You can raise issues directly in this repo, and we’ll also use this as a location to collate questions and issues we hear from around the ecosystem.

Process

1. Take a look through the existing Discussions to see if your issue has already been raised.
2. If not, create a new one! There are existing topics, but don’t worry too much about picking the right one - we’ll still answer.
3. Make sure you read the Code of Conduct.

We will respond to your issues in a number of different ways:

• If your question is best raised as an issue against one the Privacy Sandbox proposals, we will point you to the right repo and can help you pull together the specific details for the issue.
• If your question is actually an implementation issue, we will point you to the relevant component on the browser’s bug tracker (doesn’t have to be Chrome!) and can help you get the specific details needed for the issue.
• If your question is already covered by existing documentation, we will point you to that, but we will also try to understand what meant it wasn’t easily discovered or evident in the first place. There’s probably something we can do to make the documentation better!
• And, of course, if your question relates to what you need to specifically do on your site - then we will help work through a plan with you. The aim is that we will use your question to create the first draft of documentation.

Your question may well cover several of these things in one, so we will also separate all those threads with you to get to the answers you need.
