When one of those cohorts is narrow enough to reveal something specific and highly private (like a specific disease / medical / legal / societally high interest issue) - what then? Sites get to learn that you are associated with that very private concern.

Cookies AND FLoC and any other replacement all need to stop.

And those who want to characterize others need to stop, because the information WILL be abused.
