Most browsers let you block 3rd-party cookies without blocking all cookies (in this case, blocking the the criteo.com cookie but not the sears.com cookie, when on sears.com): https://www.maketecheasier.com/disable-third-party-cookies-chrome-firefox/ https://www.maketecheasier.com/disable-third-party-cookies-c...
- richardwhiuk 10y agoDoes this actually count as a third-party cookie if the sears page loads criteo in an iframe (which may be 1px by 1px, and tell criteo that it was invoked by sears)?
- ceejayoz 10y agoYes, it does. criteo.com is a third-party domain when on sears.com.
- ubernostrum 10y ago"Third-party" is based on the domain shown in your browser's address bar. If that shows sears.com, then domains which aren't sears.com are third-party.
- mirimir 10y agoI use Firefox. I always use private browsing mode. I accept third-party cookies, but I delete all cookies and history when Firefox closes.
- Veratyr 10y agoThere are also addons like uMatrix (https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix) which allow you to selectively block cookies by domain. By default it loads a bunch of ad blocking stuff too but you can turn that off if you really want.
