In this article, we are going to be covering how to enable cookies on iPhone and will go over all the popular browsers; Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.
You may occasionally hear security and privacy advocates advise you to block or disable all cookies on your web browser. Is that, however, the wisest advice? While ad businesses employ third-party cookies to follow you as you navigate the internet, first-party cookies are really useful. First-party cookies enable browsers to remember crucial user information such as usernames, passwords, and language preferences, resulting in a more personalized user experience.
How to enable cookies on iPhone?
To customize and simplify your online browsing, it’s generally a good idea to leave first-party cookies enabled. However, there are steps you may take to ensure that third-party content providers do not obtain your personal information.
Safari
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down to Safari.
- In the Privacy & Security area, ensure sure Block All Cookies is toggled off. When the slider gets grey, you’ll know it’s turned off.
- Make sure Prevent Cross-Site Monitoring is turned on to disable third-party cookies and prevent firms from tracking you to promote products and services. When the slider hits green, you’ll know it’s turned on.
Chrome and Firefox
Cookies are enabled by default in third-party browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, and you do not have the option to disable them. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, can be disabled. To manage cookies in Chrome and Firefox, follow these steps:
Chrome: Go to Settings on your iPhone, then pick Chrome. Then, make sure Allow Cross-Website Tracking is turned off.
Firefox: On your iPhone, go to Settings, and then pick Firefox. Then, make sure Allow Cross-Website Tracking is turned off.
If you wish to browse without cookies being kept on your phone, utilize the “Incognito” or “Private” mode in Chrome (in Firefox).
