To support testing scenarios during the 1% testing and ramp-up phases of third-party cookie deprecation in Chrome, several Chrome flags are available.

In addition to --test-third-party-cookie-phaseout, there are a number of flags available to test different scenarios, such as participation in deprecation trials:
