Broken down to its core, the new API may be used to use trust tokens on different sites so that users do not have to regain trust, e.g., through captchas. Google has released an article for developers that explains the functionality. Google announced recently that it will drop support for third-party cookies in 2024 in Chrome. Current anti-fraud techniques that rely on third-party cookies will stop working once support ends in Chrome. 'The Private State Token API is a new API for propagating user signals across sites, without using cross-site persistent identifiers like third party cookies for anti-fraud purposes' writes Google in a support document. Google lists support for the Private State Tokens API, formerly known as Trust Tokens, as another feature that has been integrated into the browser. The policy is no longer available for Mac and Windows devices.

The policy will be removed in Chrome 120. Administrators may configure the policy ChromeRootStoreEnabled to prevent the migration from happening at this stage.
