Cookie Glitch Breaking Websites

About this episode

A major tech glitch is disrupting websites by blocking essential cookies, particularly affecting Facebook's in-app browser.

A major tech glitch is disrupting websites by blocking essential cookies—especially in Facebook’s in-app browser, which fails to send required cookies. The fix? Force links to open in your phone’s default browser. Meanwhile, users on older browsers like Internet Explorer or even Chrome/Firefox need to manually enable first- and third-party cookies in privacy settings, and on iOS, Safari requires a restart after adjusting cookie settings. It’s a frustrating reminder of how much we depend on invisible tech to keep the web running smoothly. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
