Google Chrome Security Update
Google Chrome Plans you better be aware of. One of them is To Block Third-Party Cookies By Default
According to several mails received, Google also plans to update how Chrome browsers handle cookies. In doing so, Google wants to provide users with :
- more transparency about how sites use cookies
- better controls for cross-site cookies.
This requires special attention from us all...
Developers will have to define additional attributes when setting cookies intended to be accessed across sites.

Non-secure traffic will be redirected. This will create latency when directing traffic from blogger site to advertiser site and will result in traffic drop to the advertiser site.
If a blogger has a custom process that crawls affiliate links and if they do not update non-secure links to secure ones, the system-implemented redirect from HTTP to HTTPS may create issues for many sites.
Required updates:
Review the links you use
- your links
- those from referrals or affiliate marketing
You must update the non-secure (affiliate) HTTP link to a secure link HTTPS.
Advise is as follows: ensure that your links have been updated by September 30.
