A lot of browsers are set up with strong security features to help keep you and your data safe on the internet. One of those common security features is to block third-party cookies from gathering your data. Most of the time this does keep your information safe. However, it can sometimes deny you access to EdTech tools, such as Canvas, Kaltura, or anything else that you are working with in an online class at SLCC. The error message may look similar to this:

It seems like your browser is blocking 3rd party session cookies which are required for the Kaltura application. To resolve this issue, please update your settings to allow 3rd party cookies.
Fortunately this is easy to resolve, but the instructions are different depending on the browser you are using. The following links contain up to date instructions on how to do this.

Note: Before doing anything, make sure that your browser is updated to the latest version.

  • Turn Cookies on or off in Chrome (computer, Android, iPhone, and iPad)
  • Enable Cookies in Safari on Mac
    • Note: Ensure that Prevent cross-site tracking and Block all cookies are both unchecked
  • To enable cookies in Safari (iPhone or iPad):
    • Open the iOS Settings (gear icon)
    • Scroll and select Safari, or swipe down to use the search field
    • Disable the Allow Cross-Website Tracking slider
    • Disable the Block All Cookies slider
As browsers update and change you may find that some of these instructions are out of date. If you need any extra help with this, reach out to the SLCC Help Desk at 801-957-5555 or email helpdesk@slcc.edu.
