What is Firefox's third-party cookie policy? What about Safari's?

We're trying to see about the third-party cookie policy. With the default "remember history" setting, are third-party cookies automatically accepted? Or does that change have to be manually set in the privacy settings?

Yes, that is the "default". No.

You can also allow third-party cookies only from visited domains.

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

You can set the network.cookie.thirdparty.sessionOnly pref to true on the about:config page to make third-party cookies behave as session cookies that expire when Firefox is closed.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
