Google's arrangement to restrict information tracking on its Chrome browser has been stretched out to cover applications on its Android-based smartphones.
Its alleged Privacy Sandbox project means to control how much client information that advertisers can accumulate.
Rival Apple currently powers application engineers to ask for authorization from clients before following them.
The news will be a catastrophe for firms like Meta, which depend on placing their code on applications to follow consumers behaviour.
Meta said for this present month that Apple's progressions would cost it $10bn (£7.3bn) this year. Google's Android working framework is utilized by around 85% of smartphones owners around the world.
According to a BBC news report the third-party cookies, which utilize individuals' browser history to target adverts, will be deliberately gotten rid of on Google's Chrome browser by 2023.
In a blog, Google said it was presently expanding what it calls its Privacy Sandbox to Android applications, and chipping away at arrangements that will restrict sharing clients' information and "work without cross-application identifiers, including publicizing ID".
These identifiers are attached to smartphones and are utilized by applications to gather data. Google said that it will save them set up for something like two years, while it works "with the industry" on another framework.
"We're also exploring technologies that reduce the potential for covert data collection, including a safer way for apps to integrate with advertising SDK (software developer kits)," it added.
The tech giant didn't detail how it intends to do this.
Apple chose in April last year that application engineers needed to expressly request consent from clients to utilize IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers). Information from promoting organization Flurry Analytics, and distributed by Apple, recommends that US clients are deciding to quit tracking 96% of the time.
Google's blog didn't name Apple, however alluded rather to "different platform " which it said, "have adopted an alternate strategy to ads privacy, gruffly limiting existing technologies utilized by developers and advertisers".
"We believe that - without first providing a privacy-preservation alternative path - such approaches can be ineffective," it added.
Google, in contrast to Apple, depends on publicizing income.
Google's endeavours to make options in contrast to third-party cookies on its Chrome browser have not gone completely without a hitch.
Its first proposition - a framework called Federated Learning of Cohorts (Floc) - was loathed by privacy campaigners and advertisers the same.
Floc intended to camouflage clients' individual identities by allocating them to a gathering with comparable browsing history.
