ALSAGER Chamber of Trade has announced the winners of its festive shop window treasure hunt competition.

Shoppers were encouraged to look out for special posters in the windows of 20 stores in and around the town and get a signature on their entry form from the business owner.

The poster was designed by pupils at Highfields School.

As a prize, each of the 20 shops provided a voucher to be spent in their store, giving the total prize a value of £296.50.

An Alsager Chamber of Trade committee spokesman said: “There were five entries with the same number of correct answers, so a draw was done by Pat Wintle of From Me To You card shop in Alsager.

“The lucky winner was youngster Emma Jerstice who won the book of vouchers, some of which she will be sharing with all the family.

“We would like to express thanks to all the businesses which sponsored this competition.”

A PATRIOTIC fortnight celebrating the ‘Best of British’ is being held at Bridgemere Garden World near Nantwich.

The event helps mark British Food Fortnight until October 2 by celebrating the range of produce sourced from the UK available in its restaurant.

Centre manager Marc Haigh said: “To show how committed we are in supporting British farmers and producers, we decided to join in with the Fortnight.

“We have devised a special seasonal menu for British Food Fortnight, which will include chicken, mushroom and thyme pie, beef, ale and vegetable stew with dumplings, bubble and squeak with bacon and an egg and a cheese, potato and leek flan.”

Staff will also hand out free recipe leaflets to customers to encourage them to try and recreate the food served in the restaurant at home.

Marc added: “We shall also be running a competition throughout British Food Fortnight to win a Christmas lunch for four, to be redeemed during the coming festive season.

“To enter, customers will need to answer six multiple choice questions based on our involvement with British Food Fortnight.”

The Wilbrahams in Nantwich is set to re-open at the end of the month following a £20,000 refurbishment – with boutique hotel rooms part of the new owners’ masterplan.

The Welsh Row venue closed suddenly at the end of February but has been taken over by new start-up Little Olive Pub Company Ltd.

It is the first venture for business partners Adam Penn – who ran The Shakespeare in Beam Street for five years – and Alison Pardoe, who lives in Wybunbury and has extensive experience in the food industry.

The pair say they want to ‘continue to invest in Nantwich’ and hope to offer customers ‘great food in a relaxed atmosphere’ when the Wilbrahams re-opens with a VIP event on May 29.

Adam said: “We’ve spent about £20,000 on the renovations. It had already undergone a substantial refurbishment, but it was just lacking a bit of soul.”

The makeover includes bespoke ‘jam jar’ lighting, freshly painted and wallpapered walls and new seating.

The venue has also seen a slight name-change, moving away from ‘bar and grill’ to ‘bar and kitchen’.

“We want to focus on great food – more pub/gastro food, but really well done,” said Adam.

“We will offer afternoon teas as well.”

He added: “I don’t think there’s anything quite like us in Nantwich already – a country pub crossed with a trendy feel.

“It’s our first venture but we’re hoping it’s the start of something much bigger for us. We’re going to look our for other venues once we have this one up and running.”

As the business grows, Adam and Alison want to look into transforming the upstairs of the building into hotel rooms.

“There are already hotel rooms there that have not been used since the 1980s, in total there’s about eight or nine,” said Adam.

“But we’re planning on reducing that to about five and making them into boutique rooms. We want to keep investing in the business and keep investing in Nantwich.”

Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget

Want to See a Budget Gimmick in Action?

Nov 5, 2009 | Budget Process

UPDATE: The Senate has passed a bill to extend jobless benefits, a bill which also includes the extension in the homebuyer tax credit and carry-back period for losses.

Recently, the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) released estimates on the revenue effects of the “Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009,” a bill to extend and modify the homebuyer tax credit and to increase the carry-back period for losses to five years.

PAYGO rules require that any bill not add to the deficit over the 5-year and 10-year periods. To its credit, this bill roughly achieves deficit neutrality over the 10-year budget window. Over the 5-year window, the bill appears to be roughly deficit neutral, but this is only the result of using a budget gimmick.

The increase in required corporate tax payments in July, August, and September of FY 2014 generates over $18 billion in additional revenue, but the clawback takes place immediately after in FY 2015. This makes the bill appear to not add substantially to deficits over the next five years, when in fact the bill simply transfers the gains from an increase in certain corporate taxes to an equal revenue loss only months later.

To be clear, we fully support Congress's efforts to offset all new spending and tax cuts, especially in light of the current fiscal situation. Given the potential need for further stimulus, we also accept that offsets may need to be spread out over the next decade. But if policymakers are concerned about including too many offsets in the first 5 years, they should vote on that explicitly -- not hide it in a budget gimmick.

Top 5 Cryptocurrency Trends of 2018

There’s still a cloud over cryptocurrency but one thing is clear. Bitcoin is still king, worth more than $6,000.

To put it in perspective, Ethereum is in second place, worth around $220.

Bitcoin’s success is somewhat attributed to its first-mover status. But they’re also keen on answering their critics with quick responses and improvements.

For example, crypto-experts have criticized Bitcoin for its scalability limitations. They responded with the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This makes transactions faster and answers scalability concerns.

So, that means Bitcoin isn’t slowing down anytime soon. But what other cryptocurrency trends should do you need to know about?

We take a look at five of them below.

1. Decentralization is Increasing

Decentralization apps (dApps) are in the early stages but show promise. They can get used for payments, lending, gambling, and the tokenization of assets.

Decentralized exchanges (DEX) have also picked up steam in 2018. This trend will continue in the foreseeable future as bigger crypto-companies continue to build them.

2. ICOs Are Changing

ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) saw a big boost last year. As such, many countries put heavy regulations on ICOs or banned them altogether.

The reason? Their non-compliance with local laws.

Pre-ICO is now a trend. People investing in Pre-ICOs are not only getting a lower price but they’re getting perks as well.

But, this is a trend to keep your eye on for another reason. CentraTech got into hot water earlier this year with the SEC over their pre-ICO offerings.

3. Awareness is on the Rise

Even if you don’t understand how cryptocurrency works, you’ve at least heard of it. Think about how much less you knew about it a year ago.

In fact, even major Wall Street players like Goldman Sachs have plans to explore cryptocurrency trading.

4. The U.S. Is Still Divided

Despite the increase of awareness, Americans are still torn. Cryptocurrency trading favors the U.S. market but state governments have made it even more confusing.

While some have placed strict regulations on cryptocurrency, others have none. Still, others are working on regulating blockchain and cryptocurrency.

As states continue to add regulations, consumers will continue to be on the fence about investing in Bitcoin and altcoins. Corporations, already familiar with navigating through government’s red tape, shouldn’t get swayed, though.

5. Platforms Still Rule the School

Last year, Ethereum’s platform played a big role in the advancement of ICOs. This year, dApps are becoming all the rage.

So, where does that leave platforms moving forward?

They’ll still be the No. 1 choice for most investors. dApps aren’t big enough yet to dethrone platforms. Even if they gain a fair market share in the upcoming year, there’s still plenty of profit to go around.

Ethereum is the most popular at this point, but it’s a copycat industry and others will emerge in the coming months.

Cryptocurrency Trends, Info, and Explanations

Cryptocurrency trends are always changing. That’s why you need to stay on top of all the blockchain and cryptocurrency news.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, CryptoRyancy has all the information you need to make informed decisions.

Check out our How to Buy Bitcoin blog to get started.

2.4. Profiling each call to a function

By default TAU profiles the total time (inclusive/exclusive) spent on a given function. Profiling each function call for an application that calls some function hundred of thousands of times, is impractical since the profile data would grow enormously. But configuring TAU with the -PROFILEPARAM option will have TAU profile select functions each time they are called. But TAU will also group some of these function calls together according to the value of the parameter they are given. For example if a function mpisend(int i) is called 2000 times 1000 times with 512 and 1000 times with 1024 then we will receive two profile for mpisend() one we it is called with 512 and one when it is called with 1024. This reduces the overhead since we are profiling mpisend() two times not 2000 times.

Artifacts reveal that early humans adapted to very high elevations

Archaeologists have discovered evidence for 12,000-year-old human settlements in the Andes at more than 14,200 feet above sea level. The sites are higher than any human settlement from the same period anywhere in the world.

Walter Beckwith/Science/AP
Kurt Rademaker and Sonia Zarrillo excavate a rock shelter in the Peruvian Andes. Stone tools and other artifacts have revealed the presence of hunter-gatherers at more than 14,200 feet above sea level, between 12,000 and 12,500 years ago.

Some 370 miles south-southeast of the Peruvian capital of Lima as the condor flies, lies a small valley nestled between two volcanoes high in the Andes Mountains.

The valley sports wetlands and a small alpine lake, sustained by snow and rain during a six-month wet season. Two hamlets share the valley, where residents farm, raise alpaca and sheep for wool and meat, and work in local mines.

Far above tree line, this small oasis in the midst of barren rock and lava floes has a new distinction: It hosts two sites where scientists have uncovered 12,000-year-old remains of human occupation. Perched more than 14,200 feet above sea level, these sites are higher than any human settlement from the same period anywhere in the world.

Until now, the oldest evidence above 13,000 feet for settlement in the region appeared roughly 1,000-2,000 years later, with full-time occupation appearing about 7,000 years ago, according to an international team of researchers reporting the find in Friday's issue of the journal Science.

This latest discovery implies that humans during the late Pleistocene had a greater ability to adapt to the harsh conditions of high-altitude living in the Stone Age than some researchers had previously thought, the team posits.

“We don't know if people were living there year round,” said University of Calgary researcher Sonia Zarillo, a member of the research team, in a prepared statement. “But we strongly suspect they were not just going there to hunt for a few days, then leaving.”

Researchers working in Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina have uncovered hints that people there were living at high altitudes, notes Tom Dillehay, an anthropologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., who was not a member of the research team.

By 14,000 years ago, he writes in an e-mail, Ice Age glaciers in the area had retreated, leaving behind a landscape above 13,000 feet that was dotted with lakes and grasslands.

Indeed, the Pucuncho Basin, home to the two newly reported sites, shows no evidence that glaciers had ever reached it to leave behind remnants that would thwart early human settlement.

These latest finds represent an example of researchers in effect looking under a rock no one else was inspired to lift, he explains.

So what prompted the researchers, led by University of Maine anthropologist Kurt Rademaker, to explore the Pucuncho Basin? Call it the Mystery of the Missing Outcrops.

“You've heard the term 'follow the money?' In archeology, we follow the obsidian,” says Katherine Moore, an anthropologist at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the research team.

Obsidian is a volcanic glass that can be readily formed into arrowheads, spear points, blades, and scrapers of various types – tools whose value to Pleistocene hunter-gatherers was enormous. The Andes include a long string of volcanoes along mountainous terrain pushed up by the action of the Pacific Plate as it grinds its way underneath the South American plate and back into Earth's mantle.

Using a portable X-ray device, researchers can analyze a sliver of obsidian and match its chemical makeup with those of known outcroppings of obsidian in the wider region to identify the deposits the ancients exploited.

In this case, Dr. Rademaker was hunting for the source of a variant of the region's obsidian, known generically as Alca obsidian. Researchers led by University of Maine colleague Daniel Sandweiss had uncovered artifacts made from this variant at Quebrada Jaguay, a settlement site on the Peruvian coast dating to some 13,000 years ago. Samples from these obsidian artifacts were thoroughly analyzed and their composition is now well known. But the composition didn't match that of any known Alca obsidian source, Dr. Moore explains.

So Rademaker and colleagues went out and mapped the distribution of Alca obsidian and its six variants – in the process discovering that the region hosting Alca outcroppings was nearly seven times larger than previous mapping efforts had revealed.

Armed with its map, some modeling results, and some old-fashioned boots-on-the-ground work, the team found the remains of two open-air workshops in the tiny valley, nestled between the Solimana and Coropuna volcanoes.

One site, dubbed the Pucuncho open-air workshop, was located near outcroppings of two forms of Alca obsidian. There the researchers found more than 260 tools, including projectile points, as well as works in progress and chips off the finished tools. This workshop appears to have supplied Quebrada Jaguay, about 90 miles to the south.

The team found a second workshop, Cuncaicha four miles east of Pucuncho. The shelter is 14,700 feet above sea level.

This site was at a slightly higher elevation with a rock shelter some 100 feet upslope of the workshop. There the team found rock art, ceilings covered with soot, as well as tools. They also found planet and animal remains, well preserved by the cold, dry climate. Some of the animal remains indicated that the occupants butchered the animals and ate them there, suggesting that it was a kind of base camp rather than a hunting site. Among the comestibles were tubers that occupants would have had to hike to lower elevations to find.

Finding such industry so early and at such high elevations – especially as more sites at comparable elevations are uncovered – will help answer some fundamental questions about these early occupants of coastal South America, the researchers say.

“One of the big controversies is: How big a settlement pattern, how big a series of occupations do you have to have to make a living in these very demanding environments?” Moore says.

High altitudes are challenging. They expose people to high levels of ultraviolet radiation from the sun, low oxygen levels, relatively little fuel for fires, and a need for more calories than would be the case at lower elevations. But the coast of Peru is no Riviera either. The coastline is characterized by small areas of vegetation separated by “trackless deserts that never experience any rainfall," Moore explains.

Working eastward and up the slopes, people would have climbed up through steep canyons that only occasionally saw rain, continued up along steep, dangerous pathways cut by glaciers, only to have a vista open of lush wetlands teeming with wildlife, plenty of water, and, after poking around, valuable obsidian deposits.

“Putting that all together gives us a chance to look at how varied and skilled those guys were, how much of a single chunk of Peru would be occupied by one social and cultural group, how far they had to go to make a living, how connected they were to other groups, and how stressed they were by this very demanding environment,” Moore says.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

Explain yourself: France, Mexico irate over NSA spying

France summoned the US ambassador today after Le Monde reported that the NSA intercepted 70.3 million phone calls and text messages in France over 13 months.

Claude Paris/AP
US Ambassador to France Charles H. Rivkin, right, leaves the Foreign Ministry in Paris, after he was summoned Monday, Oct. 21, 2013. The French government had summoned the ambassador to explain why the Americans spied on one of their closest allies.

A daily summary of global reports on security issues.

Both the French and Mexican governments are demanding answers from the US regarding new reports that the National Security Agency has been conducting large-scale interceptions of French telecommunications and hacked the email of the last president of Mexico.

The French government summoned the US ambassador today to answer questions about a report in Le Monde that detailed the volume of NSA spying on French telecommunications in December 2012 and early January 2013 – which the French newspaper totaled at 70.3 million phone calls and text messages.

"I have immediately summoned the US ambassador and he will be received this morning at the Quai d'Orsay (the French Foreign Ministry)," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters on the sidelines of [a European Union] meeting in Luxembourg.

Earlier, France's interior minister, Manuel Valls, said Le Monde's revelations that 70.3 million pieces of French telephone data were recorded by the NSA between Dec. 10, 2012 and Jan. 8, 2013 were "shocking."

"If an allied country spies on France or spies on other European countries, that's totally unacceptable," Valls told Europe 1 radio.

The US ambassador, Charles Rifkin, declined to comment on being summoned to the French ministry, Reuters adds, though he noted that French-US relations on military and intelligence issues were "the best [they've] been in a generation."

According to an English version of the report published on Le Monde's website, documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden show a pattern of high-volume, though apparently targeted, spying on French telecommunications. Le Monde writes:

Amongst the thousands of documents extracted from the NSA by its ex-employee, there is a graph which describes the extent of telephone monitoring and tapping (DNR – Dial Number Recognition) carried out in France. It can be seen that over a period of 30 days – from 10 December 2012 to 8 January 2013, 70.3 million recordings of French citizens' telephone data were made by the NSA. This agency has several methods of data collection. According to the elements obtained by Le Monde, when a telephone number is used in France, it activates a signal which automatically triggers the recording of the call. Apparently this surveillance system also picks up SMS messages and their content using key words. Finally, the NSA apparently stores the history of the connections of each target – or the meta-data.

Although the exact subjects of the intercepted messages are unknown, Le Monde writes that what information is available "leads us to think that the NSA targets concerned both people suspected of association with terrorist activities as well as people targeted simply because they belong to the worlds of business, politics or French state administration."

Le Monde adds that American authorities declined to comment on the report, but pointed the paper towards a June 8, 2013, document offered by US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper that said foreign citizens could not be spied upon "without a valid foreign intelligence purpose."

In a separate article, Le Monde notes that almost all of the NSA's focus in France seems to be on two communications websites: wanadoo.fr and alcatel-lucent.fr. Orange and Alcatel-Lucent, the respective owners of the two sites, declined to comment on Le Monde's report.

Le Monde's revelations about the scope of NSA spying in France come on the heels of a report in Der Spiegel, published Sunday, that the US agency had also successfully hacked the email of former Mexican President Felipe Calderon while he was in office.

A report classified as "top secret" said: "[NSA division Tailored Access Operations] successfully exploited a key mail server in the Mexican Presidencia domain within the Mexican Presidential network to gain first-ever access to President Felipe Calderon's public email account."

According to the NSA, this email domain was also used by cabinet members, and contained "diplomatic, economic and leadership communications which continue to provide insight into Mexico's political system and internal stability." The president's office, the NSA reported, was now "a lucrative source."

American journalist Glenn Greenwald and Brazilian broadcaster O Globo reported last month that both Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff had also been spied upon by the NSA.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the Mexican government has demanded that the US investigate the spying, which Mexico calls "unacceptable, unlawful and contrary to Mexican law and international law." The Times also notes that:

Some Mexicans will consider it particularly galling that the US targeted Calderon. The conservative president, who served from 2006 to 2012, allowed US security agencies an unprecedented amount of access to Mexico in an effort to fight off the powerful drug cartels. Some here viewed the increased US presence as a breach of Mexican sovereignty.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

eBay Classic: 1974 Chevrolet Vega LX – Grandma’s Last Car

It’s been a while since we’ve had a new entry in The Great Vega Hunt, and this one was simply too good to pass up, despite it being a mere eBay find (how much better to see one in the wild!).

From the ad listing, the car was purchased new in 1974 by the seller’s grandmother, and is thus a one-owner Vega.

Under the hood throbs the original 2300cc engine, sporting the same tiny postage-stamp radiator that my ’71 notchback had. Starting in ’74, a coolant overflow bottle and electronic low-coolant indicator were added to mitigate the propensity of the engine to overheat (and blow the head gasket, as mine did) when coolant levels went down even the slightest amount. The ad states, “The car has 88,000 actual miles and will run and drive.  It has been sitting in her garage since 2010, as she was not able to drive it.  It definitely uses some oil and smokes some.  These motors weren’t great from the factory.” No understatement there!

The oil burning issue was largely caused by poor valve stem seals (if a blown head gasket didn’t cause cylinder wall scoring first), and was not addressed until the redesigned Dura-Built 140 engine was introduced in 1976. The hood has the usual rot where water collects (bottom right in photo), but I see they have the correct side-post battery installed (for Vert-A-Pac rail transportation). I also note a newish starter solenoid. Engine heat tended to make these stick (and thus not start). I had a bypass switch mounted under my dash to alleviate this issue on my car.

The listing also indicates the car is 100% stock and has never been wrecked, but “there is some rust in a few places.” Not surprising, given early models of these cars rusted simply sitting in the dealer showrooms. By 1974 Chevrolet had begun addressing a number of issues with the car, and the Vega of 1976-77 was actually quite a reliable little car. But by this time it was simply too little, too late. The most effective change Chevrolet made to the Vega was to reskin it and call it Monza.

Peeking inside, we see a “custom” interior, complete with the blank-off plate where the a/c vents would be if so equipped. My ’71 had a little cubbyhole here that was quite useful, given early Vegas lacked a glove compartment, as our subject car has. The most expensive option added to this car was the $58.75 AM radio. Additionally, this car has the optional 4-speed Saginaw manual (Go, Granny, Go!), which I remember having good ratios for the 75hp (net) engine.

First offered in 1973, the LX was almost as close to Brougham as the Vega ever got, and was essentially a base model notchback with the ‘custom’ interior option and a vinyl toupée and which was offered as a ‘luxury’ model.

The LX would be superseded by the Vega Cabriolet with a half vinyl roof and opera windows in 1976. Mmmm, Extra Broughamy!

The car sports Kentucky plates, which explains the overall lack of rust, and all-in-all, it’s probably a good thing I don’t have a spare $4,500 laying around or I’d have already hit the “Buy it Now” button. What a great find it would be to take to our local Cars & Coffee (Cars & Coffee, Cars & Coffee!).

Kenyatta University’s Conference Centre can hold 200 people. On Wednesday afternoon, all seats were taken well before the start of the event, and many had to watch it unfold while standing by the door.

The newly-elected DAAD President Joybrato Mukherjee visited Kenyatta University in Nairobi and gave a lecture titled “What’s next? The Future of African-German Cooperation in Higher Education”. The audience consisted of students from different disciplines, DAAD Alumni and current scholarship holders from KU and other universities as well as lecturers and representatives of the university management.

DAAD president Prof. Mukherjee with Prof. Paul Wainaina, VC of Kenyatta University

Prof. Mukherjee, who has been holding this honorary position since January 2020 after serving as vice-president for eight years, emphasized the intention of DAAD to strategically pursue “a new holistic approach” with Europe’s neighbors that includes “a clear commitment for a partnership between Germany and Kenya.”

“There are many German universities that want to enter the higher education landscape in Kenya", he said, "and we know of Kenyan institutions that want to intensify their links to German institutions.” Accordingly, now is the right moment to think about the future of German-Kenyan and German-African cooperation in higher education.

Prof. Mukherjee spoke of a “substantial shift in focus” towards joint research projects and environments through institutional funding for transnational projects. Those must be at eye level, he pointed out. He explained that the success of individual mobility of students and scholars - the core business of DAAD - is clearly visible, but in order to bring German-African cooperation to the next level, the goal is to establish more Centres of Excellence on the African continent, in addition to the ten already in existence.

Prof. Mukherjee, who is also a linguist and the president of the University of Gießen, highlighted that at the beginning of the 2020 decade, DAAD is determined to intensify the use of digitization in university collaborations. How can we build technology into our working together, he challenged his audience. In East Africa, beneficiaries of DAAD In-Country/ In-Region scholarships already enjoy regular e-resources trainings to equip them with skills to use digital libraries that are free of charge for African academics.

Finally, in order to enable and encourage what Prof. Mukherjee called “planetary thinking”, German and African universities need mutual access to and more knowledge of each other.

AdTech update – Google changing the game

Published 17 febrero 2021

In our previous update on the AdTech market we explored whether changes in the legal landscape around cookies and similar technologies would actually have a positive impact. The initial signs were good, with stricter GDPR-standard rules around consent and transparency encouraging a move away from intrusive targeted ads, and towards other, more ethical techniques. Such techniques include contextual advertising, which pushes ads which are a contextual match to the webpage on which they're being served, rather than tracking user behaviour.

In a move which seems to support this trend, Google have indicated an intention to shift away from the use of third-party cookies. Third-party cookies are those planted on user machines by AdTech providers (not Google itself) which track behaviour at an individual level. The move is being hailed as a potential game changer for the world of online advertising. However, is it too good to be true?

Well, probably… Google's shift away from third-party cookies will in fact mark a greater focus on a new approach which will see users placed into groupings (or 'cohorts') based on their browsing habits, which will then influence the ads served to those individuals. The technology, known as "Federated Learning of Cohorts" (or "FLOC" – we're unsure if the pun was intended…) puts Google in the driving seat, with its algorithm influencing far more of the online advertising landscape. This is likely to put a squeeze on smaller players in the market.

It's questionable whether this new approach is going to result in greater privacy for internet users. It's fairly obvious that, whether you're being tracked individually by third-party cookies, or being tracked as part of a cohort, you are still being tracked!

There are also various other forms of tracking and device-fingerprinting technologies used across the internet beyond just third-party cookies. However, what is clear is that AdTech is an area which continues to evolve as the technology being employed becomes more sophisticated. As ever, it’s likely that these advancements will quickly outstrip the legal framework (GDPR, PECR, and others – which are fast becoming outdated!), so it will be fascinating to see how things develop.

If you have any specific queries or wish to discuss anything covered in this update, please contact Alistair Cooper or your usual DACB contact.
