How to allow cookies in Chrome incognito mode

Cookies allow websites to store data on your computer. This helps them remember information like your login details, items you added to the cart, your site preferences, and more.

By default, Chrome automatically blocks third-party cookies when you browse in incognito mode. As a result, the sites cannot use their cookies to see your browsing activity. They also can’t personalize ads, which is appreciated by privacy advocates. However, it may break certain functions on some sites.

Fortunately, you can allow websites to store and read cookies if you wish, either from the new tab page or from your browser settings. Read the methods in detail below.

Method 1: From the New Tab page in incognito

This is the easiest way to allow cookies for third-party websites when browsing privately in Chrome:

1. Open Google Chrome on your Mac or Windows PC.
2. Press Control + Shift (Command on Mac) +N or tap the three-dot menu and select New incognito window.
3. On the new tab page in incognito, uncheck the option Block third-party cookies.

That is all. Chrome will no longer block third-party cookies when browsing in incognito mode.

Method 2: Enable cookies for incognito mode

Alternatively, you can allow all cookies in incognito mode or allow and block cookies for specific websites in Chrome settings. Here’s how it works:

1. Open Chrome, tap on the three-dot menu and select Settings.
2. Select Privacy & Security in the sidebar on the left.
3. Click Cookies and other site data.
4. It’s likely set to “Block third-party cookies in Incognito”. Change it to Allow all cookies.

Doing so will enable all cookies in Chrome, even when browsing in incognito mode.

On the same page, you can scroll down to find the section to customize cookie behavior and add exceptions for websites. There are three options in this section:

• Sites that can always use cookies: Here, add the websites that you want to allow cookies without any limitations. These sites may use cookies in regular and incognito browsing, regardless of settings.
• Always clear cookies when windows are closed: In this section, add the websites for which you want cookies to be automatically cleared when you exit the window.
• Sites that can never use cookies: Even when cookies are allowed in incognito mode, these sites will be prohibited from access. Use this option if you have allowed cookies in incognito mode but want to block permission for a particular site.
