Third-party cookies are cookies left by a domain other than the one you are currently viewing. For example, if you go to yahoo.com and a cookie from weloveads.com is put on to your computer, that would be a third-party cookie.

To accept third-party cookies, go to Tools, Internet Options and to the Privacy tab. There, you can choose to allow all cookies or only third-party cookies. ..

This time, click on the Advanced button and you can choose to accept third-party cookies.
