<p>Google has been planning to phase out the use of data-tracking cookies for<a target="_blank" href="https://affiverse.com/affiliate-marketing-in-a-world-without-third-party-cookies/" rel="noopener"> several years</a>. It would appear the process is more complicated than first anticipated, as it has been delayed a number of times, now expected to be completed by 2024.</p>
<p>Removing cookies is one thing, replacing them with something equally as effective is another. To do, Google has been working on the Privacy Sandbox tech solution, which is designed to allow for ad campaign management with greater user privacy capabilities.</p>
<p>Recently, Google has been running tests to see how the Privacy Sandbox tools compare to cookie tracking, <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/iba-test-results/" rel="noopener">publishing the results</a> to keep marketers and digital businesses in the loop.</p>
<p>As per Google: “The experiment showed that when using interest-based audience (IBA) solutions with privacy-preserving signals on the display network, Google Display Ads advertiser spending on IBA – as a proxy for scale reached – decreased by 2-7% compared to third party-cookie-based results.</p>
<p>“For conversions per dollar, as a proxy for return on investment, the decrease was 1-3%. Finally, we also observed that click-through rates remained within 90% of the status quo. And we observed similar performance for Display &amp; Video 360.”</p>
<p>The results indicate that these new tools might not be quite as effective as traditional cookies, but it’s worth keeping in mind that the tech is still in development and will likely see improvements before it is rolled out.</p>
<p>Marketers and businesses have expressed concerns about what the cookie phase-out will mean for them, but it is at least encouraging to know that Google is working to create a suitable replacement.</p>

<p>(If you&#8217;re buying cookies from an official Girl Scout site<b>, </b>in some cases, at least, you have to buy at least four boxes, according to <i>Entrepreneur&#8217;s</i> attempt to buy cookies from Troop 4758, which is also sold out of Raspberry Rally.)</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow! Our Raspberry Rally was released online today, and boy did she sell out QUICKLY,&#8221; the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay wrote in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/GirlScoutsoftheChesapeakeBay/posts/580807840757802/" rel="nofollow noopener">Facebook post</a>, as Insider <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/girl-scouts-raspberry-rally-cookies-selling-ebay-overwhelming-demand-2023-3" rel="nofollow noopener">noted</a>.</p>
<p>Girl Scout announced the Raspberry Rally cookies in August 2022, along with the lineup of cookies for its 2023 season, which typically starts in January and runs until April, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/03/business/girl-scouts-raspberry-rally/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener">as CNN noted</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The thin, crispy cookie is a &#8216;sister&#8217; cookie to the beloved Thin Mints™, infused with raspberry flavor instead of mint and dipped in the same delicious chocolaty coating,&#8221; Girl Scouts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.girlscouts.org/en/footer/press-room/2022-press-announcements/new-raspberry-rally-girl-scout-cookie-joins-nationwide-lineup-for-2023-season.html" rel="nofollow noopener">wrote in the August press release</a>.</p>
<p>The organization decided to only offer the Raspberry cookie as an online product for local chapters to sell to, &#8220;enhancing girls&#8217; e-commerce sales and entrepreneurial skills,&#8221; the organization wrote.</p>
<p>Enter: the raspberry ringer. Girl Scouts itself noted the popularity of the cookie. In one email to a troop in New York, it told them that the cookie had &#8220;Raspberry Rally cookie sold out in less than a day,&#8221; per CNN, which said it reviewed the email.</p>
<p>Online, people are commenting about how difficult the cookies are to get:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p>guys I&#8217;ve been trying to get my hands on the new raspberry rally girl scout cookies for a week now they&#8217;re only* available online &amp; sold out &amp; my local fb moms group is tagging people to help me &amp; my mom friends are texting their mom friends &amp; I emailed the girl scouts website</p>
<p>— more waffles please (@am1naaa) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/am1naaa/status/1631284724399316994?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener">March 2, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p>If anyone has an extra box of the raspberry rally or caramel chocolate chip please lmk ?? They are all sold out and I didn&#8217;t get to try them <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/IScDd9BVtj" rel="nofollow noopener">pic.twitter.com/IScDd9BVtj</a></p>
<p>— Tenny Minassian (@itsme10e) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/itsme10e/status/1631366719242641408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener">March 2, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Others celebrated getting a box:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p>Behold the unicorn Girl Scout cookie…the Raspberry Rally! <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/gstqKvapvX" rel="nofollow noopener">pic.twitter.com/gstqKvapvX</a></p>
<p>— Dr. Melissa Aho (@melissaaho) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/melissaaho/status/1630647546593812480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener">February 28, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In an email to CNN, the Girl Scouts expressed disappointment in the secondary-market frenzy.</p>
<p>&#8220;When cookies are purchased through a third-party seller, Girl Scout troops are deprived of proceeds that fund critical programming throughout the year,&#8221; the company wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;Girl Scouts of the USA, your local Girl Scout council, and our licensed cookie bakers cannot guarantee the freshness or integrity of cookies bought through unauthorized sites,&#8221; it added.</p>

<p>But, as CNN noted, eBay didn&#8217;t say it planned to take down the cookies. &#8220;We strongly support the entrepreneurial spirit of hardworking local Girl Scout troops and encourage cookie-seekers to also support their local Girl Scouts… However the sale of Girl Scout cookies does not violate eBay policies,&#8221; a rep from eBay told the outlet.</p>
