Overview
Almost every modern browser offers the ability to block 3rd-party cookies for added privacy. Some browsers even enable this behavior by default. When using an LMS, every LTI application is considered by the browser to be a 3rd-party because it's content does not come from the same URL as the LMS.
While Harmonize is able to detect this configuration and allow you to launch most screens into a separate window, users will have a much smoother experience by whitelisting Harmonize from the cookie blocking. Below are instructions on how to enable this in each of the browsers we support.

Chrome users have three options.
Option 1: Enable All Third Party Cookies
