Sometimes, a website will show content from a third-party website (for example, “Like” buttons from Facebook, ads or embedded videos) and those other websites might leave a cookie too. Firefox Focus does not block cookies by default. Here’s how to turn on the cookie blocker for all or just third-party cookies. #Tap the menu button at the top right corner #;[[Image:focus menu android]] #Tap {menu Settings}. #Scroll down to the ''Privacy section'' and tap '''Block cookies'''. #Choose '''Yes''' to block all cookies or '''Block 3rd-party cookies only'''. Firefox Focus will save your selection and close the menu prompt. {note} ==Note== '''Blocking all cookies:''' This prevents trackers, but it will also keep websites from remembering anything you’ve told it (for example, you will be asked to click the “Submit” button over and over again). '''Blocking third-party cookies:''' This blocks third-party trackers, but some websites rely on features that load from other domains.
