What you should do now
Google's advice for core updates remains the same. Core updates do not penalize websites. For example, cleaning your links won’t help if your rankings drop after a core update. Instead, it’s likely that other websites do something better than your website.
If you want to get high rankings with Google's new ranking algorithm, just do the usual things that are needed to get high rankings:
1. Create web pages with good content
2. Get good links from other websites
3. Make sure that your website is mobile-ready
4. Use structured data markup code
Have your rankings changed?
You can monitor the rankings of your web pages with the Ranking Monitor in SEOprofiler. The Ranking Monitor enables you to react when your rankings drop.
The Ranking Monitor also shows the days on which algorithm updates happen so that you can quickly see if a ranking change might be related to an algorithm update:

Google: cookie banners are okay if they do not replace your content
"Google’s John Mueller said on Twitter that cookie banners are fine as long as you do not replace the content of yourw eb pages with an insterstitial.

How the Google game is changing for good
"Google will continue to invest in understanding query intent and their machine learning will get more and more accurate. Fundamentally, what this means is that your website and content, is the single most important detail to optimize."
