Is there a way to track whether or not visitors are disabling third party cookies?

Cookie Support states whether or not it's able to set the cookie or not. Persistent cookie support is basically the dimension version of the cookie support report.

If you're using third-party cookies, the cookie support reports should give you the data you're looking for. If you're using first-party cookies and would like to know if visitors are disabling third-party cookies, you could try and set a test third-party cookie, and define a custom variable true/false depending on whether the test cookie was successfully set or not.

Hi,

The cookie S_CC contains information on whether or not cookies are enabled. 

Here's some documentation for your reference.

I'm seeing the dimension "Cookie Support" in Analytics, with values "Enabled," "Disabled," and "Unknown". Is that referring to third party cookies?

 

There's another dimension that's called "Mobile Cookie Support" with values "None," "Supported," "and "Unknown". What's that in reference to?

 

And lastly... the dimension "Persistent Cookie Support." What's that?

 

Thanks,

David
