      Hello Team,

      I see that the latest version of Opera does not allow selecting "Block third-party cookies" option under "Third-party cookies" section of "Privacy and security" category of Settings.

      First i see that the option itself appears sunken as if to indicate it can't be selected, but if I select it & change from the default option of "Block third-party cookies in Incognito mode" to "Block third-party cookies" it does not take effect & when i click back to "Privacy and security" it still shows "Third-party cookies are blocked in Incognito mode". I restarted the browser & see the same result.

      Have we disabled blocking of Third-party cookies in opera?

      Version of Windows : Windows 11 Home 23H2

      Version of Opera : 107.0.5045.21

      Screen-shots of the problem:

      Trying to change:

      Change taking no effect:

        Seems like a bug as selecting "allow third party cookies" and refreshing the page reverts it back to "Block third-party cookies in Incognito mode" too.

          @burnout426 Thank you. Yes i see the same behavior aswell.

          Also i verified by looking at the cookies that its not just a cosmetic settings page issue, third-party cookies are indeed not getting blocked!

          Personally this is a critical bug & a show stopper. I love opera & would love to get this fixed so i don't need to stop using opera.

          Team, please lemme know if you would like me to help file a bug ticket.

          Thanks

            @muthukumaranl I asked internally to see if this is know (as I didn't see a bug report for it internally). Waiting on an answer. Will let you know if a bug report it is needed or not when I find out.

                    @elec-tonic Do you mind sharing the bug ID or link please. I did a quick search & couldn't find any...

                      @elec-tonic Looks like the issue tracker (https://bugs.opera.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa) is not accessible to the public. Since you were able to access & open a bug, it would be nice if you could share what the status of it is or what if any comments have been logged..

                        @muthukumaranl I only reported a bug through the report form, but I don't have more info than you. They sent me an email that says I won't receive updates unless if they need information.

                        The email contained the code BS-85518 but if you can't search it it's useless.

                              @burnout426 said in "Block third-party cookies" option under "Third-party cookies" is no longer selectable:

                              Do you have any info that you can share on the team's plan for this issue? It seemed like a blocker issue to me but i already saw two updates hence & this is not picked up...

                                Doesn't work with me either. Should be top on any priority list, then.

                                            I had this problem now. I choose 'Block third-party cookies' (or 'Allow third-party cookies') -> refresh -> and it's go back to 'Block third-party cookies in Incognito mode'.
