Description
Setup:
- Open a new incognito browser
- Navigate to this standard TensorBoard demo colab notebook https://colab.research.google.com/github/tensorflow/tensorboard/blob/master/docs/tensorboard_in_notebooks.ipynb#
- Log into Google using a personal account in order to connect to Colab runtime
- Execute all the cells
I get a 403 error instead of an active TensorBoard view.
It appears that a request to ?tensorBoardColab=true fails due to a 403. Note that other requests that are not strictly to https://colab.research.google.com may pass. This may be due to a different Referrer Policy

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in the linked tensorboard_in_notebooks.ipynb Colab notebook using an incognito browser and inspect the request containing ?tensorBoardColab=true. Compare its 403 response and Referrer Policy with the similar successful request shown in the issue; done means the notebook opens an active TensorBoard view without that 403.
