In this article I’m going to guide you through the easiest way to disable third party cookies while using Selenium web driver with Chrome driver.

How to disable third party cookies:

First we need to create a new project:

Then we need to visit Selenium and download Selenium library for Java. Then we need to install chrome driver version 2.22. The latest until the date of this article.

after that, we need to create a new folder into the project. call it “lib”.

Drag and drop all the .jar files you have downloaded from the web.

Then drag and drop the chromerdriver.exe file into the “src” package.

After all these the above is done, we need to create a new JUnit test case.

it must contain at lease the following methods :
@before, @after, @test.

once every thing done.

add the following code to your Project :

The following code will disable third party cookies

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

public class RunChrome {

WebDriver driver;
final static int TIMEOUT = 30;
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Ibra\\workspace\\DisableThirdparty\\src\\chromedriver.exe");

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String,Object>();

prefs.put("profile.block_third_party_cookies", true);

options.setExperimentalOption("prefs",prefs);

DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

cap.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY,options);

driver = new ChromeDriver(cap);

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
driver.quit();
}

@Test
public void test() throws InterruptedException {
driver.get("https://www.google.com");

Thread.sleep(10000);
}

}

After all above work is done, try to run the project as a JUnit.

When chrome driver is shown up it must contain an icon after the URL shows that the third party cookies are disabled.
