Not allowing third party cookies

I have absolutely no idea what happened, but flash player isn't allowing third party cookies on my mac. I've uninstalled re-installed and took plug-ins out of the internet plug-ins folder to see if any of them were conflicting with flash player and still no results. The worst part is that on the global settings panel inside of the adobe website it wont allow me to change any settings. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Another interesting fact is that flash works fine under other users. At this point it seems like the only solution is to transfer all my files to another account. Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

How do I allow third party cookies for a website and how do I turn off pop-up blocker?

How do I allow third party cookies for websites and how do I turn off pop-up blocker?

Allow third party cookies at Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Block Cookies - "Never".
Turn off the pop-up blocker at Safari > Preferences > Security > Block pop-up windows = unchecked

I can't enable/disable "allow third party cookies" with the new Firefox preferences

The newly revised preferences for Firefox--specifically 'Privacy' and 'Security' don't appear to have an option for me to enable and disable third-party cookies. I don't allow them generally, but need to enable them in order to use my bank's billpay. PLEASE--if anyone has an answer to this, I'm trying to find out how to enable and disable third-party cookies, as I did with the previous Firefox preferences.

In the History section of Options -> [[Options window - Privacy panel|Privacy]] , is the dropdown set to 'Firefox will: ''Use custom settings for History'' '?
This should reveal the granular settings for saving cookies and forms, etc.

Take me to firefox options so i can allow third party cookie sharing

Try this:
# Click the Tools->Options menu item.
# Click the Privacy Icon.
# Check the Accept Cookies from Sites checkbox.
# Next to "Accept Third-Party Cookies", select either From Visited or Always (I suggest From Visited)
# Click OK
Hope that helps

Allowing third party cookies on safari

I just got my Mac and upgrades my OS to Yosemite. I haven't had to use the website before i downloaded Yosemite so I don't think it has to do with that. I can't find anything about cookies in my settings. My OS is 10.0, don't know about the IOS

Hi haymitch14,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve recently upgraded your MacBook Air to Yosemite and want to know how to control the way Safari handles cookies. The article linked below will help you find the cookie settings in Safari preferences and explain what they do.

Is it true that apple i phone 5 does not allow third party tethering ie connection to my mercedes benz comand online system

.

I'm having the same issue with a Porsche Cayenne at work.
I have 5 devices paired with it, 2 iPhones of unknown type and OS, an iPhone 5 running the latest iOS, a Samsung Galaxy S II running ICS and a Blackberry 9700. The SGS2 is mine, the iPhone 5 belongs to my boss, the BB 9700 is his boss's phone and the unknown iPhones belong to our customer and his wife who test drove the car and now want to buy it complete with the Online Services function with syncs Emails and SMS. It falls to me to get this working.
In the Device Details option of the Porsche PCM bluetooth menu it lists the bluetooth profile that are active.
The BB 9700 lists AVRCP, A2DP, HFP, SIM-Acess and DUN. The BB syncs email and SMS.
The SGS2 lists AVRCP, A2DP. HFP and SIM-Acess. The SGS2 sync SMS but no email.
All 3 iPhones list AVRCP, A2DP and HFP. No Emails or SMS syncing.
iPhone supports MAP (Messaging Access Profile) since iOS 6.0 but not SIM-Acess profile.
I understand that syncing SMS and Email only works when pairing is initiated from the car, not the phone. Pairing initiated from the phone gives priority to HFP (Handsfree Profile) which locks out syncing messages.
I also understand that repeated pairng improves the connection, though I haven't had time to test this extensively.
Does anyone know if the Porsche PCM supports PAN and MAP with iOS 6.0?
TIA

Why does firefox hang or not respond when I am using disable third party cookies setting

I have, by process of elimination, realized that when using the setting "allow third party cookies - 'never' ", causing my firefox to hang so much that I cannot use it. I have used that setting "allow third party cookies - 'never' ", for as long as it has been available. Over that last few months, I have been having problems with firefox hanging and getting the message "firefox not responding". It became very annoying, causing me to look for a solution. I read through the kb and tried many solutions. I can now say that when I change the cookie settting to "always" the problem goes away. It is helped only slightly by using the "from visited" setting. How can I fix this? I don't want all the cookies but I cannot surf with this problem constantly.

The problem is that "third party" includes both related servers and advertising networks; the setting is too crude to accomplish the objective of blocking tracking cookies that you don't want.
My compromise is to accept all third party cookies, but set cookie lifetime to "Keep until: I close Firefox." As a result, tracking is limited in time, even if during any given session I can be seen on different sites. (I also use the NoScript extension, so many ads driven by scripts never load.)

Third-party cookies: Should I be concerned that I am forced to accept in order to access a site, if I delete them after every Firefox session?

Friday 16 August, 2012
My internet service provider (https://my.gci.net/) blocks my entry to eMailGuard (a GCI spam and virus isolator) when I have third-party cookies disabled
When I allow third-party cookies I am able to access eMailGuard. I have used GCI eMailGuard and Firefox together for years and have had no such difficulty in the past.
This problem commenced 2-3 weeks ago.
I have followed all directions at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-cookies-are-blocked-unblock-them to clear all cookies and cache, with no change. Also, my default setting (see below) is to “Clear history when Firefox closes.” If I understand correctly, clearing history will also clear cookies and cache, so I do it every time I close Firefox.
Has Firefox changed third-party cookies parameters recently? GCI of course claims this is a browser issue. Should I be concerned about third-party cookies if I delete them after every Firefox session? Any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
My current version is Firefox v.14.0.1
My Privacy settings are:
• Tools\Options\Privacy
• Use custom settings for history
My selected (checked) custom settings are as follows:
• Remember my browsing history
• Remember download history
• Remember search and form history
• Accept cookies from sites (third-party cookies not selected)
• Keep until: I close Firefox
• Clear history when Firefox closes

''Keep until: I close Firefox''
That's what I use for all cookies. If you start a new session every time you start Firefox, i.e., you don't resume the same session over and over, websites cannot track you 'across sessions' using cookies; you are a new person to them during each session (unless/until you log in).
Note that "Flash cookies" need to be managed separately.
As for this particular site, if you want to spend some time research it, you could install an add-on such as Firebug or the external Fiddler2 proxy. Both will show you each request made by the browser when you load a page. Then you can see which third party sites are involved and if you like make a specific entry to allow them in the Exceptions dialog.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/
* http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/ (more difficult to use for HTTPS sessions)

What is Firefox's third-party cookie policy? What about Safari's?

We're trying to see about the third-party cookie policy. With the default "remember history" setting, are third-party cookies automatically accepted? Or does that change have to be manually set in the privacy settings?

You can also allow third-party cookies only from visited domains.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
You can set the network.cookie.thirdparty.sessionOnly pref to true on the about:config page to make third-party cookies behave as session cookies that expire when Firefox is closed.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Not seeing "allow third-party Flash content to store..." in Flash 10.0.45.2

Hi,
I just upgraded to Flash player 10.0.45.2. I would like to review and choose my privacy settings.
When I go to the Settings manager through the online interface, I do not see the "Allow thrid-party Flash content to store..." as expected and as described in
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/546/4c68e546.html
Instead, I see
I want to set up my settings to allow to store information from the original domain, but NOT from third-party domains, how do I do this?
The first choice is in French and says :
'Allow Flash content to store information on your computer". There is no reference whatsoever to "third-party" information.
Is this normal? Is this a translation mistake? Does the first choice there apply to ALL information (so-called Flash cookies), from the originated domain AND from the third-party domains?
Second question: I can't seem to find how to see the Settings manager in English...
I am using Firefox, but I tried with Opera, and the Settings manager looked the same: no choice for "third-party" thinsg either.
My OS is Windows XP SP2 (French), but all my browsers are English, so I'd like to see the Flash settings in English, too.
Thanks for any help, I really want to block the third-party cookies, but not the others.

Hi again,
Thanks for your time... but I'm still stuck.
The Language problem
I CAN change the language settings for the Global site, but the Flash Player settings 'live" window is ALWAYS in French, no matter what I do and which language I choose.
The Third-Party Settings problem:
As you said:
In English, the choices are:
Never ask again
Allow third party content to store data on your computer
Store common Flash components to reduce download times
In French, the choices are:
Ne plus demander (This is a correct translation of "Never ask again")
Autoriser le contenu Flash à enregistrer des données sur votre ordinateur : This is an INCOMPLETE OR WRONG translation, the french sentence means "Allow content to store data on your computer". There is NO MENTION of third-party here.
Stocker les composants Flash courants pour réduire la durée de téléchargement. This is a correct translation of "Store common Flash components to reduce download times.
So, am I to think that if I uncheck the second choice, I will disallow third-party stuff (as in the English sentence), or will it disallow ALL content to be stored (as in the French sentence), regardless of third-party or not?
This is very important for me, and for all the French speaking Flash player users.
I can't believe there is such a mistake in a product used as widely as the Flash player is...
The Website Storage settings are per website settings, I do not want to have to accept/deny each website individually, I want a global policy for disabling third-party cookies, exactly as the second choice in English is designed for.
Unfortunately, the French second choice (apparently) doesn't say the same, as it allows/disallows ALL contents.
Could someone from the Adobe translation team (or equivalent) help to solve this, maybe?
Regards and thanks for any help.

Why am I getting redirected to the MSN homepage (when logging out of hotmail) with third party cookies not enabled? And why are exceptions to cookies being cleared in private browsing mode?

I have the latest version of Firefox, I use Private browsing with Allow cookies but not third party cookies. Recently I have begun to be redirected to the MSN homepage after logging out of hotmail and whenever I add MSN cookies to the exceptions in cookies the list gets deleted. Can anyone tell me why, when blocking third party cookies should prevent that?

Two initial thoughts:
(1) If you look at the cookie names and content in the View Cookies dialog, are they the ordinary scramble of different names and values, or do they look like "opt-out" cookies? Some security software or add-ons may restore opt-out cookies after you clear them.
(2) If you have any extensions that make requests to those sites, it's possible they are bypassing private browsing mode, although I would hope not. Hmmm.
Unfortunately, unlike history where you can see the time that an entry was added, it is difficult to figure out when a cookie was set. But there are many cookie add-ons that might provide insight.
Alternately, you could go directly to the cookies.sqlite database using the SQLite Manager extension. This is on the nerdy side, but manageable.
(1) Install SQLite Manager from: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
(2) The extension adds an item to the Tools menu. If you do not normally use the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key to display it temporarily or press Alt+t to pull down the Tools menu.
SQLite Manager may suggest a particular database, particularly on your second and later uses. You can skip that and it will open a new window.
(3) On the toolbar (first screen shot), choose the cookies.sqlite database and click Go. This should display the database entries for all your cookies (second screen shot).
(4) Select the following SQL query text:
SELECT host AS Site, datetime(creationTime/1000000,'unixepoch') AS Created, datetime(expiry,'unixepoch') AS Expires
FROM moz_cookies
ORDER BY creationTime, host
(5) Click the Execute SQL tab, paste the query, then click Run SQL. You should get a list of sites in order by the date their cookies were set (third screen shot).
Are the dates all fresh? If they are older, something may be rolling back your cookie clearing.

Facebook does not update "likes," that people "like," after setting Facebook to an exception for "Third Party Cookies"

I recently changed all my Bookmarks to sites that are exceptions for third party cookies and turned off the acceptance of third party cookies. Facebook will not update any "likes" I get until after I reload the page. It also will not allow me to upload pictures, it says that I am not logged in which is really odd. Is this because I have switched to the https://facebook .com?

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Allow limited third-party cookies?

A blog I frequent recently switched commenting to Disqus.com, which requires the browser to allow that site to install cookies (or otherwise access the cookies, I won't claim expertise here) even though I never actually visit that site. The upshot of this is that, in Safari, I must either allow all third party cookies or not comment. Firefox, which also had a helpful notice telling me that I needed to allow Disqus.com to use the cookies, allows one to specify specific URLs without having to allow every URL.
Can I do something similar in Safari? might the feature be available soon? is there some plug-in or other application which can overcome this obstacle?

Not that I am aware of, but I have Cookie Preferences set to 'Accept cookies only for sites I visit', but I only wish to retain cookies for the sites i regularly visit, like these forums and others.
To that end I use a small app called SafariCookies:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which only works on Leopard and Snow Leopard. This adds an item in Safari Preferences whereby you can automatically delete all cookies on shutdown, except those particular 'favourite' ones you wish to retain to avoid entering your user name and password each time you visit.
It would seem that Disqus want you to allow their advertisers to install cookies on your Mac. I would not allow them to do that.

Since I installed the new version 17.0.1, third party cookies will not stay selected after I close the browser...

Simply -- third party cookies will not stay selected after closing the browser and I have to select it for each time to use certain cookies from websites...

You may need to create an allow exception to keep specific cookies.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cookies
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
