Full Title or Meme

An Entity that is brought into a online session after the first party and second party establish that session.

Context

• The original user of a third party was a server that was contacted by the first party server based on the interaction with the client (user in this case.)
• The most common use of the term now is an Identity Provider or Advertiser that is contacted by the first party web server.

Problems

• Third party applications, like Single Sign-On relying on third party cookies, which will be blocked in all browser by sometime in 2025. If you want to test how this will look see this page.
• The Federated Credential Management (Fed CM) API is designed to support Single SignOn using OpenID Connect and similar protocols when Third Party Cookies are not supported.

Solutions

Most browser manufaturers had either agreed to or out-right eliminated use of Third Party Cookies by the end of 2024. But Google, whose primary source of revenue in dependent on ads, backed off on 2024-07-22 and said they were working on an alternate that allowed user privacy as well as Third Party Cookies. The advertising industry can heave a sigh of relief.^[1]
