However, this campaign once again demonstrates why online privacy needs to be actively protected,&#8221; said Kaspersky researcher Ivan Kwiatkowski.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Privacy risks are especially high when we consider various social groups and minorities because there are always actors that are interested in finding out more about such groups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Google backtracks on Cookie-cutter plan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Google has delayed its crackdown on third-party cookies.
