What to do with Turnstile when google chrome blocks 3rd party cookies

What is the name of the domain?

just testing local at the moment

What is the error message?

Third-party cookie will be blocked in future Chrome versions as part of Privacy Sandbox.

What is the issue you’re encountering

I would like to know if there is any action I should take to prepare for the new google chrome policy.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I know this topic is already discussed here. Google blocking 3rd party cookies effect on Cloudflare JS Challenge

However, the discussion was over 6months ago. Also, I hadn’t seen this warning for the most part but I just started to see this. It shows up on only one of my chrome profiles.

If you are knowledgable about the situation of google chrome policy and turnstile, I would love to learn that.

fyi I am trying to build my site using HUGO, host on Cloudflare Pages and use Turnstile & Pages Function to prevent bots.

Google scrapped those plans.

Not true, Privacy Sandbox is still going ahead, however, this will be driven by user choice which like Apple has shown can really destroy the level of 3rd party cookies.

The previous deprecation timeline at least provided publishers with the gradual deprecation of third-party cookies from 1% to 100%. But leaving it up to the user eliminates the guarantees of how many users will be addressable or if it’s going to be a big change occurring all at once versus a slow rollout, which is hard to plan for and worrisome.

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like a lot of it is uncertain and we just sit tight and hope the Cloudflare team can adapt to possible future changes and keep Turnstile functional.

So, no action to take from our side?

Hello Cloudflare team,

Regarding this topic, few interesting links:

This one from google:

My understanding is that if Chrome activates 3pcd for all users on Q3 it would break turnstile captcha currently, is this correct ?

Thank you
Regards

Turnstile does not rely nor use 3rd party cookies.

The cookies you are seeing are because you visited the Cloudflare marketing site/dashboard/community forum which set cookies on *.cloudflare.com. Turnstile itself does not set or read those cookies.

I’ve been using Turnstile since it was released using extensions that block 3rd-party cookies and have never encountered any issues.
