Google Drive will no longer require third-party cookies in the browser from January

Google Drive will no longer require third-party cookies before users can download files in the browser from January 2 next year. This puts the company ahead of browsers, including Chrome, which will soon stop supporting such cookies.

Company does not report which it has adjusted to ensure that third-party cookies are no longer required. Google also does not say which third-party cookies had to be downloaded previously. Users thinking on Hacker News that it is a googleusercontent.com cookie, which is seen by browsers as a third-party cookie. This cookie would be used for uploading and downloading content. The use of third-party cookies allowed users who block such cookies to previously don’t use Drive in the browser. This should be possible from January.
