Its products include major publications across over 20 domains such as Times of India, Economic Times, Navbharat Times, and Cricbuzz, which are market leaders in their respective categories.</p> <p>For a long time, third-party cookies have played an important role for Times Internet websites, enabling user authentication across their different sites, as well as serving personalized news and videos to audiences.</p> <p>With third-party cookie restrictions on the horizon, Times Internet faces the challenge of balancing their existing user experience with adapting to new technologies that improve user privacy.</p> <p>Read on to find out how they have adopted <a href="/privacy-sandbox/cookies/related-website-sets">Related Website Sets (RWS)</a> to provide a measured approach to cross-site data sharing, preserving valuable user experiences and Times's ability to understand cross-site user journeys within a well-defined, privacy-conscious framework.</p> <h2 id="cookie_audit_and_impact_evaluation" data-text="Cookie audit and impact evaluation" tabindex="-1">Cookie audit and impact evaluation</h2> <p>The first step towards reducing reliance on third-party cookies is identifying exactly where and what those cookies are used for. With over 20 domains that are a part of Times Internet, assessing potential breakage due to third-party cookies which could disrupt key functionalities required careful analysis.</p> <p>Times Internet used the <a href="/privacy-sandbox/blog/psat-announcement">Privacy Sandbox Analysis Tool</a>(PSAT), a DevTools extension to facilitate analysis of cookie usage during browsing sessions. The PSAT extension complements DevTools with specialized capabilities for analyzing and debugging scenarios related to the deprecation of third-party cookies.</p> <figure> <img src="/static/privacy-sandbox/assets/images/psat-example.png" alt="Privacy Sandbox Analysis Tool (PSAT) screenshot showing the number and types of cookies used in a modal and the list of cookies behind that with the reason they are blocked." width="800" height="444"> <figcaption>Privacy Sandbox Analysis Tool (PSAT)</figcaption> </figure> <p>Another important step that Times Internet took was testing user journeys and site features with third-party cookies disabled in Chrome. They also tested the same flows in other browsers which have third-party cookie restrictions.</p> <aside> <i>At Times Internet, we are deeply committed to enhancing user experience while staunchly protecting their privacy. Our integration of advanced APIs and technologies from the Privacy Sandbox underscores our dedication to excellence in user satisfaction and the development of strong, future-proof products. This strategic approach not only aligns with a privacy-first outlook but also ensures we are well-prepared for evolving privacy norms.</i><br> - Ashish Jaiswal, CTO Times Internet </aside> <p>To learn more about testing for third-party cookie deprecation impact in Chrome, check out <a href="/privacy-sandbox/cookies">Test for breakage</a>.</p> <h2 id="maintaining_limited_third-party_cookies_access_between_related_sites_with_related_website_sets" data-text="Maintaining limited third-party cookies access between related sites with Related Website Sets" tabindex="-1">Maintaining limited third-party cookies access between related sites with Related Website Sets</h2> <p>Third-party cookies are used across Times Internet sites to serve personalized content, analyze site traffic, and understand where the audience is coming from in order to improve the user experience. With third-party cookie restrictions in place, the quality of their services would suffer.</p> <p>One of the solutions Times Internet considered was to require all users to sign in to access content. However, earlier experiments had shown that this approach led to high bounce rates, so finding an alternative was imperative.</p> <p>The solution was to implement <a href="/privacy-sandbox/cookies/related-website-sets">Related Website Sets</a> as a way to enable limited cross-site cookie access between a small group of related domains.</p> <p>A Related Website Set is a collection of domains, for which there is a single "set primary" and potentially multiple "set members" that are permitted to share some cookies across domains in the set with privacy controls in place. There are <a href="https://github.com/GoogleChrome/related-website-sets/blob/main/RWS-Submission_Guidelines.md#set-formation-requirements">three types of subset</a> that RWS currently supports:</p> <ul> <li>Associated: Domains whose affiliation with the set primary is clearly presented to users.</li> <li>Service: Domains that serve another set member to support functionality or security needs.</li> <li>ccTLD (country code top-level domain) variants for the Associated and Service subsets are also supported.</li> </ul> <p>To help prevent misuse of subsets, each subset type has certain requirements. Associated sites subset allows associating up to five domains to the primary. The number of domains that can be associated using a service set or a ccTLD is unlimited, as long as those domains match the requirements.</p> <p>As early adopters, Times Internet spent a lot of time planning and having discussions with the Google team, as well as providing feedback over GitHub which helped shape the current design of RWS. The associated sites subset started with a limit of one primary and three related domains, and as a result of engagement with early adopters and strong focus on incorporating feedback from companies such as Times Internet, the limit has been changed to five related sites.</p> <p>Even so, Times Internet encompasses more than twenty domains, so they had to be strategic in forming their Related Website Set.</p> <div></div><devsite-code><pre class="devsite-click-to-copy" translate="no" dir="ltr" is-upgraded syntax="JSON"><code translate="no" dir="ltr"><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nt">"contact"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"amit.chouhan@timesinternet.in"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nt">"primary"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://timesinternet.in"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nt">"associatedSites"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">[</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://indiatimes.com"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://timesofindia.com"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://economictimes.com"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://samayam.com"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://cricbuzz.com"</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">],</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nt">"serviceSites"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">[</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://growthrx.in"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://clmbtech.com"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"https://tvid.in"</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">],</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nt">"rationaleBySite"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nt">"https://indiatimes.com"</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s2">"Indiatimes.com is primary domain for Times Internet which publish stories on Indian Lifestyle, Culture, Relationships, Food, Travel, Entertainment, News and New Technology News.
