Disabling first *and* third party cookies set by at.js

[AdamBa17]

Hello,

We would like to disable both first and third party cookies set by Target, that is no cookies at all set by Target, for some of our site visitors.  Is there a way to set something in TargetGlobalSettings to stop all first and third party cookies being set? I know there is a setting for third party cookies, "cookieDomain", but our requirement is different.

We would like to run the at.js script directly in our index.js, not in GTM, our tag manager.

Thanks in advance

@AdamBa17 Adobe Target’s at.js might allow you to disable third-party cookies through a configuration option. Please check Adobe documentation for more details

Thanks. To clarify I would like to disable first party cookie persistence in at.js.  How to do this?

HI @Amelia_Waliany , thank you for following up. I was not able to resolve the issue through here or Adobe support.  There appears to be no way to stop Adobe Target setting the mbox cookie as the script loads.

@AdamBa17  would like to know the use case why you want to disable 1st party cookie ? How you are planning to use target then if cookies are disabled.

you can think of custom solution to delete cookie using Java script if not able to disable thorough at.js - , cookies stored to companydomain are 1st party and you can target to delete them

Thank you for your reply.

It's for regulatory reasons in the EU region. You can read more about it by searching up GDPR.

This idea of deleting the cookie occurred to us previously, but after full consideration it is not robust enough to be a desirable enterprise solution for us.
