…hive.org into cookies-2025

I've staged the chapter here: https://cookies-2025-dot-webalmanac.uk.r.appspot.com/en/2025/cookies Unfortunately staging isn't automated so reach out if you want it re-staged at any time. |
Let's add the SQL in a separate PR please. That way it can be merged ahead of the chapter and keeps this PR small. |
|
Thank you @tunetheweb for the edits, staged version, and comments, much appreciated! |

Overall it looks promising, but I have a lot of small questions/remarks.

| The observations from this chapter confirm the conclusions from last year's analysis: | ||
| - A majority (60%) of cookies encountered on the web are third-party cookies and popular websites create them the most. | ||
| - Most popular cookies can be linked to advertising, tracking, and analytics use cases. |

- Maybe add that most third-party cookies come from very few sites. Not sure if we have a query for that, but probably we could make a query to show that 90% of third-party cookies belong to only 100 sites (or something similar).

@JannisBush I'm not sure if this is exactly what you mean. Here is a first try, but I am unsure what you mean

Note: if @ChrisBeeti and @JannisBush converge on something here, happy to edit/complete that statement with more. In the meantime, the conclusion was rephrased to be based on results we had in the chapter, so that chapter review and merge can move along for publication.

@yohhaan what's the latest with this? I don't see any response to the feedback and it's still in draft status. |

Comment from @JannisBush: Queries missing |
I had left for vacation for the holidays just after the review was posted. I have now addressed and resolved most of the comments that were about the phrasing and text details. Remaining comments are essentially about the SQL queries and figures on which I have tagged @ChrisBeeti, analyst for the chapter. Also removing the draft mode. |

@tunetheweb: I think we are pretty much ready here for the cookies chapter to be reviewed and merged for the launch of the Web Almanac. I have also just pinged @bsmth on the issue #4069 as they were listed as the initial editor. Just 1 question left for @ChrisBeeti to double-check that on a figure, results were not inverted between 1st and 3rd-party cookies (if this is the case, this would not impact the interpretation nor the text of the chapter, just a figure might have to be updated). Thanks! |

OK I did a quick edit and this LGTM now. Let's merge this and can iterate if anything changes.
Hi!
This is a (draft for now) pull request with the content for the 2025 Cookies chapter (#4069). To be more efficient, the content has been drafted directly in markdown (no Google Docs). Feel free to edit on the cookies-2025 branch directly, or leave comments in your review on this PR.

So far, the 2025 chapter is pretty similar to last year's analysis IMO, although I have pointed out to some differences I noticed. Some suggestions or ideas if people have some time to help:
