To allow local data to be set in Google Chrome, follow these steps:
- Click on the Chrome menu (usually three dots in the upper-right corner).
- Go to Settings.
- Click "Privacy and security" in the left sidebar.
- Click "Cookies and other site data".
- Select "Allow all cookies" or "Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended)". Ensure "Block third-party cookies" is not selected if you still want to allow certain local data.
Detailed Instructions
Here's a more detailed breakdown, echoing information directly from Chrome settings descriptions:
-
Ensure Cookies are generally allowed: Chrome provides options to control how websites store and use data on your browser.
-
Check the correct setting: Specifically, ensure that the setting related to allowing websites to save and read cookie data is enabled. There may be a setting like "Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended)". This is crucial for allowing local data.
-
Third-Party Cookies: If you have concerns about tracking, be careful about blocking all third-party cookies. Blocking them will impact website functionality.
-
Advanced Settings (Older Chrome Versions): In older versions of Chrome, the path was:
Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Content Settings (under Privacy). You would then ensure that the bullet for "Allow local data to be set (recommended)" is checked, and that "Block third-party cookies and site data" is unchecked.
In summary, allowing local data to be set involves navigating to Chrome's privacy settings and making sure the correct option is selected to allow sites to store and read cookie data, while considering any limitations on third-party cookies.
