New America.gov launches with privacy pledge despite 20-year cookie concerns

Original: A 20-year-long permanent cookie: America.gov and tracking

The US State Department has launched a redesigned America.gov alongside a privacy pledge, but examination of the site's Login.gov integration code has raised questions about user tracking. Critics point to a cookie with a 20-year expiration, which would persist on visitors' devices for decades and conflict with the site's stated privacy commitments.

Why now: The contradiction between a government privacy pledge and a long-lived tracking cookie is drawing scrutiny from privacy advocates and developers.
