Some advertisers use third-party (cross-site) cookies to track your visits to the various websites on which they advertise. Learn more.

Third-party cookies, also known as cross-site cookies, are [[Cookies - Information that websites store on your computer|cookies]] set by a website other than the one you are currently on. For example, cnn<!-- -->.com might have a Facebook like button on their site. The like button will set a cookie that can be read by Facebook. That would be considered a third-party (cross-site) cookie. Some advertisers use these types of cookies to track your visits to the various websites on which they advertise. This is called [[Third-party trackers|cross-site tracking]]. {note}'''Note:'''{for not fx132}Cross-site tracking cookies are now disabled by default for all Firefox users. See [[Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop|Enhanced Tracking Protection]] for more information about how Firefox protects you against tracking.{/for}{for fx132} Cross-site tracking cookies are now disabled by default for all Firefox users. Enhanced Tracking Protection Strict mode now disables all cross-site cookies.

This differs from blocking all third-party cookies through the custom cookie blocking settings by allowing websites to set partitioned third-party cookies (third-party cookies only accessible on the website they were set on) which therefore cannot be used for tracking but might be functionally necessary as well as in further technical details.

This feature keeps cookies in the site where they were created so that they can't track you across websites. Total Cookie protection is enabled when the ''Cross-site tracking cookies, and isolate other cross-site cookies'' setting is selected.<!--https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1740828#c1 -->{/note} =Enable third-party cookies for specific sites= Some websites may not work properly when third-party (cross-site) cookies are blocked. To turn off [[Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop|Enhanced Tracking Protection]] for a specific website: #Visit the website. #At the left of the address bar, click the [[Image:Fx89ShieldIcon|width=30]] shield icon. #At the top right of the panel, toggle off the Enhanced Tracking Protection switch [[Image:Fx91ETPbluetoggle|width=40]]. This will disable Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site, causing the page to automatically reload and enable trackers. #;[[Image:Protection panel|width=400]] Follow the same process to turn Enhanced Tracking Protection back on. If the issue persists, consider reporting it by submitting a ''Broken Site Report''. This allows the Webcompat team to examine the problem.
