Enabling Cookies

To properly use Disqus, cookies — specifically, first-party cookies — must be enabled to leave comments and remember your Disqus login information.

While third-party cookies aren't required for sites using Disqus, we'd recommend keeping them enabled to guarantee that all features function properly. If you'd rather not enable third party cookies from all sites, you can block them and simply add an exception for disqus.com and its subdomains.
