Description:

FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) is a new proposed feature Google is rolling out in its Google Chrome browser. This feature is downright [https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/03/googles-floc-terrible-idea terrible step against the privacy] of users, and this tiny plugin tries to help mitigate it by setting a Permssions-Policy: interest-cohort=() header to ask Google Chrome to FLoc Away.

Installation:

  1. Upload the downloaded plugin directory to /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin from the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
  3. You are all set! There is nothing to configure. Your site will emit necessary headers to FLoC Away.

FAQs:

Does this block all ads on my site?

No. This plugin only sets a Permisssions-Policy header to specifically disable FLoC feature. It does not block anything.

Impact on other browsers

All browsers that do not support FLoC will simply skip the interest-cohort clause in the header. Older browsers that do not recognize the Permisssions-Policy will simply the header algother.
