Google Pursues Plan to Remove Third-Party Cookies
The Wall Street Journal reports that Google is pushing forward with its plan to remove a widely used tracking technology from its Chrome web browser, despite complaints from rivals that rely on it to target ads at individuals.

The Alphabet Inc. unit on Monday said it is making progress on what it said are privacy-friendly alternatives that could replace third-party cookies, the Wall Street Journal reports, which many advertisers and other companies use to track individuals’ browsing habits across multiple websites.

Google cited positive test results for a technology that analyzes users’ browsing habits on their own devices, without sending sensitive data to central servers, and said it expects to open outside testing of ad buys using the technology in the second quarter.

A Google spokesman told the Wall Street Journal the company is still on track to stop supporting such cookies in Chrome next year, when the new alternatives are expected to be ready.

Engaging Employees to Accelerate Digital Banking Transformation
TheFinancialBrand.com says that digital banking transformation is much more than simply enabling the customer to access products and services on digital channels. Done correctly, it involves the digitalization of business processes, applications, data and business models. The goal of digital banking transformation is to improve the customer experience and the productivity of employees for an increasingly digital world.

As banks and credit unions evaluate their digital banking maturity, they look at ways to improve the sales process, rethink product offerings, use data and analytics to personalize the customer journey, and increase digital engagement all while hoping to increase efficiencies that will positively impact the organization’s bottom line. But as organizations rush to become ‘more digital’ for the customer, many may forget about the importance of the employee in the transformation.

Whether it’s the scope of digital banking transformation, the need to deploy new technology, or the potential reorganization of legacy business units, these changes impact people, process and technology that have been around for a while. This makes it difficult to get leaders to embrace change – and even harder for employees.
