Recently, browsers have been reducing the cookie storage period, regardless of server settings or javascript. For example, in Safari, the cookie lifespan is now only two weeks. Because of this, a person who has not visited a site for 14 days will be identified as a new user on their next visit.
New versions of the ITP 2.2 standard regulate the storage period of cookies even more strictly, and for those installed by third-party services (third party cookies), the lifespan is 1 day. This means that the retargeting opportunities of such sites are limited to 24 hours. If the user does not visit the site again that day, the cookies are deleted.
