Are you ready for the fourth of February? If you don’t know what this date means, you’ve come to the right place. If you know but still look for help, you will find it below. In this article, we explore a new Chrome update and its impact on the entire Internet, e-commerce, and Magento. In an attempt to make the most popular browser faster and more secure and customer experience more private, Google changes the default way of how cookies are treated.
