Still, the use of cookies as key elements used to persist client session identifiers in the browser is too widespread and relied upon by prevalent web powerhouses like PHP for Google to do away with them.

Moreover, as much as there may be more modern, sleek alternatives like browser session and application storage, you can't realistically expect the entire web industry to completely migrate away from cookies just like that.

The amount of tech relying on cookies is slowly decreasing. Removing cookie support completely today is not an option, but it will be in the future.
