Explainer Chrome: https://github.com/WICG/turtledove/blob/main/FLEDGE_browser_bidding_and_auction_API.md Services: https://github.com/privacysandbox/fledge-docs/blob/main/bidding_auction_services_api.md Specification The web platform portion of the specification (navigator.getInterestGroupAdAuctionData() and the server response changes to navigator.runAdAuction()) is part of the Protected Audience spec <https://wicg.github.io/turtledove/>. The interface to the Bidding & Auction Services endpoint is described in https://privacysandbox.github.io/draft-ietf-bidding-and-auction-services/draft-ietf-bidding-and-auction-services.html Summary The Protected Audience API (formerly known as FLEDGE) is a Privacy Sandbox proposal to serve remarketing and custom audience use cases, designed so third parties cannot track user browsing behavior across sites. This proposal, the Protected Audience Bidding & Auction Services API, outlines a way to allow Protected Audience computation to take place on cloud servers in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), rather than running locally on a user's device. Moving computations to cloud servers can help optimize the Protected Audience auction, to free up computational cycles and network bandwidth for a device. Blink component Blink>InterestGroups <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EInterestGroups> TAG review For Protected Audience: https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/723 TAG review status Completed for Protected Audience, resolved unsatisfied. RisksInteroperability and Compatibility None. This is an optional new feature of the Protected Audience API. Ad techs can use this new feature by calling navigator.getInterestGroupAdAuctionData() and specifying values for new fields in the auction config. Without invoking the new function or explicit values for those new fields, there's no functional behavioral change as a result of this feature. Gecko & WebKit: No signal on parent proposal, Protected Audience. Asked in the Mozilla forum here <https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/770>, and in the Webkit forum here <https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/158> . Edge: Microsoft has proposed their Ad Selection API <https://github.com/WICG/privacy-preserving-ads/tree/main> as a similar TEE on-server auction API. That API looks like it would have a near identical Web Platform API as the Bidding and Auction Services API. We have biweekly meetings with Microsoft, and are open to collaborating on specifying the API. Web developers: Extensive interest in this feature from adtechs, evidenced by the myriad of discussions on Protected Audience’s issue tracker <https://github.com/WICG/turtledove/issues>, Protected Audience’s weekly WICG calls <https://github.com/WICG/turtledove/issues/88>, and the Protected Auction Services WICG calls <https://github.com/WICG/protected-auction-services-discussion/issues/27>. Debuggability On-device API surfaces should be debuggable in Chrome DevTools, and we’ve added extensive mechanisms for debugging <https://github.com/privacysandbox/fledge-docs/blob/main/debugging_protected_audience_api_services.md> Bidding and Auction services <https://github.com/privacysandbox/protected-auction-services-docs/blob/main/bidding_auction_services_api.md#related-documents> . Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)? It will be supported on all platforms that support Protected Audience, so all but WebView. Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ? Lots of <https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/fledge/tentative/get-interest-group-auction-data.https.window.js> WPT tests <https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/fledge/tentative/server-response.https.window.js>. Remaining test coverage to be completed soon. Flag name on chrome://flags Overall control is not possible via chrome://flags, though the consented debugging support <https://github.com/privacysandbox/fledge-docs/blob/main/debugging_protected_audience_api_services.md#adtech-consented-debugging> is controlled via chrome://flags/#protected-audience-debug-token Finch feature name FledgeBiddingAndAuctionServer Requires code in //chrome? Only for UI for the consented debugging support <https://github.com/privacysandbox/fledge-docs/blob/main/debugging_protected_audience_api_services.md#adtech-consented-debugging> . Anticipated spec changes No web-visible changes expected. Estimated milestones Shipping to all applicable platforms in M130.
