Google shares update on next step toward phasing out third-party cookies in Chrome (blog.google)
Saying goodbye to third-party cookies in 2024 | MDN Blog (mozilla.org)

As per the Adobe Cookie there are additional cookies in play required for some systems.

Currently the @adobe/magento-storefront-event-collector package (which in itself is a dependency of @magento/experience-platform-connector uses snowplow as a depedency. Which uses 3rd party cookies that when disabled make it so that the flow of event capture is broken.
