Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 9, 20241 yr I've been reading articles about Google's plan to eliminate "third-party cookies entirely by mid-2024," and I am wondering how this will affect Invision Community software? Will it function properly without cookies? https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-to-disable-third-party-cookies-for-1-of-chrome-users/498429/ Also, could I be mis-interpreting what they will be doing? Perhaps they won't allow any cookies from other sites (site B) to load when visiting site A? I'm not sure, but it seems like a pretty big change to me.
February 9, 20241 yr Solution Third party cookies are cookies set by a website other than the website you're viewing. Cookies are an essential part of web applications and aren't going away.
February 10, 20241 yr This is nothing to worry about. Other browsers such as Safari did this YEARS ago. Google dragged its heels because of what it meant for trackers tracking you across multiple sites.
