The Trading Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) stock is trading lower Wednesday. The technology company, among other companies in the ad tech industry, may be reacting to Google‘s (NASDAQ:GOOG) decision to keep third-party cookies. What To Know: In 2020, Google initially stated it would stop using third-party cookies by early 2022, as soon as it could launch a new solution to address the needs of users and advertisers, according to CNBC. In order to find a solution, Google launched the Privacy Sandbox initiative. A part of the Privacy Sandbox initiative was to place users into, “Federated Learning of Cohorts” which would group users based on browsing behavior. This would mean that only cohort IDs
Alphabet Inc’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google reversed its long-standing plan to eliminate cookies in its Chrome browser due to industry and regulatory pushback. Advertisers and publishers use cookies and small text snippets to identify users and target ads. This decision follows objections from digital advertising companies and regulators to Google’s proposed alternative technologies. Ad-tech players protested, accusing Google of attempting to strengthen its monopoly in the space and making it more difficult for advertisers to track their ads’ performance. Instead of eliminating cookies, Google will now prompt Chrome users to decide whether to enable or disable cookies.
Morgan Stanley analyst Matthew Cost maintains Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $100 to $110.
At Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), C is still for cookies. The parent company for Google has stirred up the digital advertising world with its unexpected decision to keep third-party cookies in its Chrome browser.

Analysts and insiders have been quick to weigh in on the implications of this surprising move, which has left many ad-tech players relieved and some a bit wary. The U-Turn Everyone Saw Coming Google retains cookies after numerous delays and mixed signals regarding its Privacy Sandbox initiative. The decision not to depreca
President Joe Biden‘s decision on Sunday to drop his bid for a second term in the White House was “yet another curveball for equity investors,” according to RBC Capital Markets analyst Lori Calvasina. So far this year, investors have exhibited “the same amount of discomfort in talking about the US election and its stock market/economic implications in our meetings that one might feel by staring at the sun for too long,” Calvasina wrote in a Monday analyst note. How the stock market will react to Biden’s historic decision “remains to be seen,” she adds. “The main thing we've been remembering,” Calvasina says, “is how so many of the US-based investors we've spoken with this year seeme
