I had to read the whole article to get to this info: Depending on what Chrome version you're using, and whether you've been selected to start using Topics API, you can switch this functionality off and on by visiting chrome://settings/adPrivacy and/or chrome://settings/privacySandbox – cut'n'paste these URLs into your address bar to jump straight to the controls.
You can switch it now but obviously it's just a matter of time til you won't be allowed to.
This is why chrome is for work only. Firefox for everything else.
And also .... When you give users the choice to turn something on or off but don't tell them that the thing is on and also make it inconvenient for them to turn it off ....
... Most users won't turn it off.
It cant be compliant with gdrp
