This feels like some slight of hand targeting the current political and legal efforts looking into Google.
For example, if they aren't collecting information on you than how do they have enough information to create cohorts? Is it that they are deeming information processed on your local computer running their software something that isn't them collecting? This seems like a form of misdirection.
Without knowing the technical details (which one never knows with Google), it leave me the impression that they have moved some of their categorization software client side (Chrome, web workers, etc) and are saying that they aren't collecting the data in that case.
Is it Google using remote devices as edge devices to do a bunch of work they'd been doing server side?
