First-party cookies are directly stored by the website (or domain) you visit. These cookies allow website owners to collect analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other useful functions that provide a good user experience.
However, first-party cookies that track basic data about your own website’s visitors are still safe. In fact, in Google’s 2021 announcement, the tech giant called first-party relationships “vital.” So, ultimately, any first-party data you gain from your website’s visitors on all browsers will still remain in-tact.
Should I enable third-party cookies?
Blocking and deleting cookies If you disable them, a website could not keep track of your activity as you move from page to page. As well, disabling third-party cookies in your web browser can stop some types of tracking by advertisers and other third-party entities. This increases your user privacy and security.
What does disabling 3rd party cookies do?
Blocking third-party cookies does not create login issues on websites (which can be an issue after blocking first-party cookies) and may result in seeing fewer ads on the internet.
The only way to identify if a cookie was a third-party cookie is to examine the actual header which set the cookie and see if that cookie was set for a domain other than the originating one.
Click the Privacy tab. Click the Advanced button. Select the option ‘Override automatic cookie handling’ under the Cookies section in the Advanced Privacy Settings window. Select the ‘Accept’ or ‘Prompt’ option under ‘First-party Cookies.
Who uses third party cookies?
Third-party cookies, as explained before, are cookies that are stored under a different domain than you are currently visiting. They are mostly used to track users between websites and display more relevant ads between websites. Another good example is a support chat functionality provided by a 3rd party service.
Should I block all third party cookies?
Important: If you block third-party cookies, all cookies and site data from other sites will be blocked, even if the site is allowed on your exceptions list. If you allow cookies by default, you can still block them for a certain site. On your computer, open Chrome.
