SAFARI TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW COOKIE PREVENTION FULL

Note that this compatibility fix will go away in a future version of Safari so only go this route if it saves you time and allows for a graceful transition period. This compatibility fix allows the third-party to open a popup from your website and upon a tap or click in that popup gain temporary cookie access under the opener page on your website. Option 3: The temporary compatibility fix for popups, see section вЂњTemporary Compatibility Fix: Automatic Storage Access for PopupsвЂќ in our ITP 2.0 blog post. Option 2: The Storage Access API with which the third-party can request permission to get access to its first-party cookies. Option 1: OAuth 2.0 Authorization with which the authenticating domain (in your case, the third-party that expects cookies) forwards an authorization token to your website which you consume and use to establish a first-party login session with a server-set Secure and HttpOnly cookie. If yours is among the few websites that still relies on third-party cookies in Safari and has not been affected by ITP in its previous iterations, hereвЂ™s how you can make things work for your users: ITPвЂ™s classifier keeps working to detect bounce trackers, tracker collusion, and link decoration tracking. Now itвЂ™s as easy as possible: If you need cookie access as third-party, use the Storage Access API. Such a setup could otherwise persist IDs even when users delete website data for the first party.

Removes the ability to use an auxiliary third-party domain to identify users.

Note that you still need to protect against forged requests that come in through top frame navigations (see SameSite cookies for guidance).

Disables cross-site request forgery attacks against websites through third-party requests.

In addition, there are further benefits to full third-party cookie blocking: Since вЂњglobal browser stateвЂќ has been top of mind in the web privacy community as of late, weвЂ™d like to point out that cookies themselves are global state and unless the browser blocks or partitions them in third-party contexts, they allow for cross-site leakage of user information such as login fingerprinting. Disables Login FingerprintingДЄs discussed by Jeremiah Grossman back in 2008 and Tom Anthony in 2012, and set up by Robin Linus in 2016 as a live demo with which you can test your browser, this technique allows a website to invisibly detect where you are logged in and is viable in any browser without full third-party cookie blocking. WeвЂ™d like to again thank Google for initiating this analysis through their report. Full third-party cookie blocking makes sure thereвЂ™s no ITP state that can be detected through cookie blocking behavior. As discussed in our December 2019 blog post, the internal state of tracking prevention could be turned into a tracking vector. Removes Statefulness From Cookie BlockingДЇull third-party cookie blocking removes statefulness in cookie blocking. We will report on our experiences of full third-party cookie blocking to the privacy groups in W3C to help other browsers take the leap.

We know Chrome wants this behavior too and they announced that theyвЂ™ll be shipping it by 2022. As far as we know, only the Tor Browser has featured full third-party cookie blocking by default before Safari, but Brave just has a few exceptions left in its blocking so in practice they are in the same good place.

Safari continues to pave the way for privacy on the web, this time as the first mainstream browser to fully block third-party cookies by default. Regardless of the size of this change, there are further benefits, as explored below. It is going through the standards process in the W3C Privacy Community Group right now. To keep supporting cross-site integration, we shipped the Storage Access API two years ago to provide the means for authenticated embeds to get cookie access with mandatory user control. But weвЂ™ve added so many restrictions to ITP since its initial release in 2017 that we are now at a place where most third-party cookies are already blocked in Safari. It might seem like a bigger change than it is. This is a significant improvement for privacy since it removes any sense of exceptions or вЂњa little bit of cross-site tracking is allowed.вЂќ Full Third-Party Cookie BlockingД¬ookies for cross-site resources are now blocked by default across the board. This blog post covers several enhancements to Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) in iOS and iPadOS 13.4 and Safari 13.1 on macOS to address our latest discoveries in the industry around tracking.
