How to Enable Cross-Site Tracking and Third-Party Cookies

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Some Sparkforge embedded views (calendars, forms, and iframes inside other sites) require third-party cookies to load. In Safari on macOS, open Safari → Settings → Privacy and uncheck Prevent cross-site tracking.

Some Sparkforge experiences load inside an iframe on a third-party site — embedded calendars, forms, the client portal — and need third-party cookies to authenticate the user's session. If those embeds show up blank or stuck on a spinner, cross-site tracking is usually the cause.

Safari on macOS

Open Safari from the Dock or with Spotlight (Cmd + Space).
From the menu bar, choose Safari → Settings (or press Cmd + ,).
Click the Privacy tab.
Uncheck Prevent cross-site tracking.
Close Settings and reload the embedded page.

Chrome on macOS

Documentation in progress. As a workaround, open Chrome → Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies and choose Allow third-party cookies, or add the embedding domain to the allow list.

Chrome on Windows

Documentation in progress. The same Privacy and security path applies.

Firefox on Windows

When to disable third-party cookie blocking

Only disable for sites you trust. If a Sparkforge embed is the only thing affected, prefer adding the specific embedding domain to your browser's allow list rather than turning off cross-site tracking globally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to enable third-party cookies?

Embedded Sparkforge views (calendars, forms, the client portal inside another site) authenticate the visitor's session through a third-party cookie. With cross-site tracking blocked, the cookie never reaches the iframe and the embed fails to load.

Is it safe to disable cross-site tracking?

It loosens privacy protection in Safari. The safer option is to allow cookies for the specific embedding domain rather than disabling cross-site tracking site-wide.

My embed still doesn't load after enabling cookies. What now?

Clear your browser cache and reload. If it still fails, try an incognito or private window with cross-site tracking off — extensions can also block cookies.
