(Boursier.com) — Alphabet remains under surveillance this Friday on Wall Street, while the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), the British competition authority, which launched an investigation at the beginning of last year into Google’s Privacy Sandbox project consisting in deleting third-party cookies from the Chrome browser, said today that it had obtained new legally binding commitments from the internet giant to address its concerns. The final commitments accepted by the CMA today are the result of extensive investigation and extensive work with Google and market participants, including two formal public consultations. They respond to the CMA’s competition concerns. Google also said the pledges would be rolled out globally. The CMA is working closely with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) to oversee the development of the proposals, so that they protect privacy without unduly restricting competition and harming consumers.
It should also be noted that European publishers, including Axel Springer, News UK and Conde Nast, have filed a complaint with the European Commission against Google, judging that the American would exercise control over them through advertising technologies.
