Important Note Before You Start:
Google is actively phasing out third-party cookies in Chrome through its "Privacy Sandbox" initiative. As of 2024–2025, some Chrome versions no longer allow you to fully unblock all third-party cookies in the traditional sense. Instead, you have two options:
Allow third-party cookies temporarily (for cross-site tracking) by turning off "Tracking Protection."
Use "Site-specific" exceptions (recommended) to allow only trusted sites to use third-party cookies.
Below are instructions for both scenarios.
Steps to unblock all third-party cookies in Chrome:
Open Chrome and click the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.
Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
Note: In older Chrome versions (pre-2024), this was under "Cookies and other site data."
You will see three options:
Block third-party cookies (default)
Block third-party cookies in Incognito mode (only blocks when private browsing)
Allow all cookies (this is the one you want)
Select Allow all cookies.
Reload the website that was giving you errors.
Result: All third-party cookies are now unblocked globally. But be aware—any ad network can now track you across the web. Do not stay on this setting permanently. unblock third party cookies chrome
For Desktop Users:
Open Chrome and click on the three dots in the upper right corner to open the menu.
Click on Settings to open the Chrome settings page.
Scroll down and click on Privacy and security.
Under the Privacy and security section, click on Site Settings.
Look for and click on Cookies and site data.
Make sure the toggle for Block third-party cookies is turned off. If it's turned on, toggle it off.
Option 3: Temporary Workaround (Chrome Flags) – May Stop Working Soon
If you need full third-party cookie access for development or legacy systems, you can re-enable the old behavior via Chrome Flags.
Steps:
Type chrome://flags/#third-party-cookie-deprecation-trial in the address bar.
Change the flag from Default to Disabled.
Relaunch Chrome.
📉 Drawback: Google will remove this flag eventually. Use only as a short-term solution.
