  any downsides to this?
  • adamwulf 11y ago
    I've been blocking 3rd party cookies for over a year and haven't noticed any downsides or broken websites.

    Google+ Notifications don’t work on any Google sites except for plus.google.com (so you can’t view your notifications on other sites). But that’s it.

  Be careful, some sites/services don't function correctly without that set.

    Such as? It's been years since I allowed third party cookies and I've never noticed any issues.

      I tried disabling it around 2003 and had tons of problems with payment processors (using iFrames) and shared authentication schemes. But after just researching it, it appears things may have improved. Apple made the default for Safari to block third party cookies, so if you want to be Mac/iPhone compatible you de-facto have to not break.

      Amazon Payments will not work with third party cookies turn off. PayPal actually works better than Amazon in that regards.

        I've never had an issue with amazon payments (mostly through humble bundle) and I always have third party cookies turned off.
