Third-party cookies are typically set by service partners that you include on your website. For example:

• A "Pin it" button will store a cookie on your visitor's device that can later be accessed by Pinterest to identify the visitor's browsing history
• Google AdWords will store a cookie on your visitor's device to allow AdWords to identify the ad campaign the visitor came from or other relevant information

Some regulations require that you block third-party cookies prior to user consent. If you have a consent banner but aren't blocking third-party cookies, you may not be compliant.

There are multiple ways you can block third-party cookies:

• Automatic blocking (recommended)
  • Use Termly's Auto Blocker to automatically detect, block, and enable or disable third-party tracking mechanisms based on your user's saved preferences
• Manual blocking (advanced)
  • Manually block third-party cookies with HTML  
    • Use this method to manually categorize third-party scripts directly on your website
  • Block third-party cookies using GTM
    • Use this method to manually categorize third-party scripts deployed via Google Tag Manager (GTM)
