Check if first-party cookie blocking works
To check if first-party cookie blocking is working, follow these steps:
- Open your website in a private browsing window (also known as Incognito mode).
- Make sure the cookie consent popup is still visible, don’t accept or reject consent yet.
- Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect.
- Go to Application > Storage.
- Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect.
- Go to Application > Cookies.
- Look at the list of cookies. Only cookies classified as necessary should be present.
Note: If you see marketing, statistics, or unclassified cookies before consent is given, first-party cookie blocking may not be working correctly. Make sure first-party cookie blocking is turned on. If it is, and you’re still seeing these cookies, contact our support team.

- All done.
