Investigation into Google’s ‘Privacy Sandbox’ browser changes
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-17)

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) investigated Google’s proposals to remove third-party cookies (TPCs) on Chrome and replace TPCs functionality with a range of ‘Privacy Sandbox’ tools.

Case updates

2025 case updates

17 October 2025: the CMA has carefully considered the responses to the consultation on the proposal to release the commitments and remains of the view that it has reasonable grounds for believing that its competition concerns no longer arise and that it is appropriate to release the commitments. Therefore, the CMA has decided to release the commitments.

The CMA has published its Decision to release commitments previously accepted by the CMA in respect of Google’s Privacy Sandbox proposals.

4 July 2025: the CMA’s consultation on the proposal to release the Commitments (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/investigation-into-googles-privacy-sandbox-browser-changes) closed on 4 July 2025.

13 June 2025: The CMA published a notice of intention to release the commitments previously offered by Google and has invited representations from interested third parties. The commitments protected competition by ensuring that Google designed and developed the Privacy Sandbox in a way that did not favour its own ad-tech services over those of its competitors. The CMA believes the commitments are no longer necessary and is now consulting before it takes a decision on whether to release them later this year.

Quarterly reports

Q2 2025

30 July 2025: the CMA published Google’s progress report on its compliance with the binding commitments accepted by the CMA. The report covers the period from 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025.

The CMA’s consultation on releasing Google from the Privacy Sandbox commitments, closed on 4 July 2025, and the CMA is now considering the consultation responses. Until a Decision is made the Commitments continue to apply. We have therefore published Google’s full report to inform third parties of developments on the Privacy Sandbox from the past quarter.

Q1 2025

30 April 2025: the CMA published Google’s progress report on its compliance with the binding commitments accepted by the CMA. The report covers the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025.

Earlier this month Google announced that it will not be rolling out a new standalone prompt for third-party cookies. As the Commitments still apply, we have published Google’s full report to inform third parties of developments on the Privacy Sandbox from the past quarter.

Q4 2024

31 January 2025: the CMA published Google’s progress report on its compliance with the binding commitments accepted by the CMA. The report covers the period from 1 October 2024 to 31 December 2024.
- Google’s Q4 2024 report (PDF, 381KB) (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/679cbbca3bd16ee4b57adf25/google_q4_2024_report.pdf) (31.1.2025)
Under the commitments, Google is required to report on the progress of the Privacy Sandbox proposals, its interactions with the CMA and third parties, as well as the approach taken to address concerns raised. We published the full report to inform third parties of developments on the Privacy Sandbox.

We have a role in supervising Google to ensure that the Privacy Sandbox is developed in a way that benefits consumers. As part of this role, we have continued to engage with Google on the design and development of the proposals.

The ICO has been closely involved in this process, given that the aim is to ensure that both competition and privacy are protected.

We have also received the Monitoring Trustee’s assessment of Google’s compliance with the relevant provisions of the current commitments (paragraphs 25 to 27, 30 to 31 and 33). The Monitoring Trustee has not informed the CMA of any instances of Google being non-compliant with its obligations under those provisions of the commitments.

As discussions with Google on changes to the commitments are ongoing, the CMA will not publish an update report for this quarter. We expect to provide a further update soon.

2022 case updates

In February 2022, the CMA accepted Google’s Privacy Sandbox commitments (PDF, 141KB) (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62052c6a8fa8f510a204374a/100222_Appendix_1A_Google_s_final_commitments.pdf) to address its competition concerns resulting from its CA98 investigation into Google’s proposals to remove third-party cookies and other functionalities from its Chrome browser. These commitments involve the CMA working with Google on the design and assessment of the Privacy Sandbox proposals before a final decision is taken to remove third-party cookies from Chrome. This page includes updates on implementation of the commitments, including regular update reports from the CMA and Google, and other relevant information for market participants.

Note: Google’s Android Privacy Sandbox proposals do not fall within the scope of these commitments

Industry testing

On 26 October 2023, the CMA published additional guidance for ad techs, publishers, and advertisers intending to test the Privacy Sandbox tools. This guidance provides detail on how market participants should use Google’s planned testing modes in Chrome in order to generate results which are comparable and informative to our assessment.
- Additional guidance to third parties on testing (PDF, 166KB) (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/653a4bebe6c968000daa9b7b/Additional_guidance_to_third_parties_on_testing__.pdf) (26.10.23)
On 29 June 2023, the CMA published a further guidance note to advise ad techs, publishers, and advertisers on how they can test the Privacy Sandbox tools in a way that would contribute to our assessment of Google’s technologies. We envisage most testing taking place between Q4 2023 and Q2 2024. The note provides details of two preferred approaches to testing, the metrics we would like to capture, and information market participants can submit to the CMA so we can understand results of testing. The note also describes how the CMA’s preferred testing approaches align with Google’s testing framework.

On 3 November 2022, the CMA published a note which sets out the framework on how quantitative testing might inform our assessment of Google’s Privacy Sandbox proposals. We will be working with Google to further develop the ideas in this note and to design experiments which Google can carry out itself. Under the commitments, Google has committed to being transparent in reporting the results of its tests. At the same time, we also want to encourage other market participants to get involved in testing.

- add commitments to address concerns about Google removing additional functionality or information before TPCs
- provide for a mechanism for the CMA to monitor Google’s adherence to any resolutions reached under the commitments
- clarify the internal limits on the data that Google is allowed to use for the purposes of targeting and measuring digital advertising
- improve the approach to addressing concerns about the potential for Google self-preferencing
- improve the provisions on reporting and compliance

Any non-disclosure agreement a party may have in place with Google should not prevent them from responding to this consultation. Google has confirmed that it will not use any confidentiality provision with a party to prevent them from responding to this consultation.

The CMA is particularly interested to hear any views on whether the proposed commitments are sufficient to address the CMA’s competition concerns regarding:
- unequal access to the functionality associated with user tracking
- self-preferencing Google’s own ad tech providers and owned and operated ad inventory
- imposition of unfair terms on Chrome’s web users
Case launch

On 7 January 2021, the CMA launched an investigation under Chapter II of the Competition Act 1998 into suspected breaches of competition law by Google. The investigation concerns Google’s proposals to remove third-party cookies (TPCs) on Chrome and replace TPCs functionality with a range of ‘Privacy Sandbox’ tools, while transferring key functionality to Chrome.
- Press release: CMA to investigate Google’s ‘Privacy Sandbox’ browser changes (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-to-investigate-google-s-privacy-sandbox-browser-changes) (8.1.21)
Notes
- the investigation is under Chapter II of the Competition Act 1998
- the CMA has not reached a view as to whether there is sufficient evidence of an infringement of competition law for it to issue a statement of objections to any party under investigation. Not all cases result in the CMA issuing a statement of objections
- the CMA will consider any representations it receives before any decision is taken as to whether competition law has in fact been infringed
- further detail of the CMA’s procedures in Competition Act 1998 cases is available in CMA8 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-the-cmas-investigation-procedures-in-competition-act-1998-cases)
- changes to the timing of original entries in the case timetable will be made where the estimated timing changes
