Third-party cookies are required to run certain components of your eLearning experience.
- Cookies in Google Chrome
- Cookies in Safari
- Cookies in Microsoft Edge (ChromiumEdge)
- Cookies in Internet Explorer
Recent changes to Safari mean that third-party cookies are disabled by default, which may make your system incompatible with those parts of the training, or even interrupt how your progress to completion is being tracked.
Cookies settings will not change on an open page when refreshed, as cookies are created when a page is first loaded. If you had your training open when updating your settings, you will need to close and re-open that page (or tab) so the setting change can take effect.
Using the System Checker, you can check if Third-party cookies are enabled by clicking “Run Tests” and viewing the Cookies section in the results.
If Third-party cookies are enabled, this will return a green tick, and you do not need to change any settings.
If Third-party cookies are disabled, you will see a warning message.
The System Checker results information will specifically refer to Third-party cookies being disabled as well.
If this is the case, you will need to update your cookies settings to address this warning.
