Blocked third-party cookies
If you work with Pega Web Mashup in a third-party domain, you might experience problems with displaying your mashups on an external web page. The issue is caused by browsers blocking third-party cookies.
Condition
When you try to display a mashup in a web page, you see the following error message:
Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response https://********/prweb/DGUM90lACED74DAWt5QdLQ%5B%5B*/!STANDARD?pyactivitypzZZZ=cf4bf40cc749310addc30ad4a5d8a8da8f527e446e4c7aed0d9ddacebc22fc865032be060df4542d53cc37376de8e4b46b3831dec248c3606364118229dc8a9df1271e976a2d6094f7d227f2025f4ff5aebd1374ba29b875bfeddf86e4ba0b3d3da2d045be018a9499549d3dc91494b27f576e4ecdf76e2b5c6f66ea5c20ea20c018c629bf31fe0bf97655abe161018af7c308b50cf948fdc10e597dc5da47e0ff28e2bd87514c41bffdbf70f2968ebb1c97b6997e1a2e7268aa63ccea0a8127*'' class='content-item content-field item-5 ' STRING_TYPE='field' RESERVE_SPACE='false'>
The issue occurs only if the Pega Web Mashup domain is a third-party domain.
Cause
As of 2024, all major browsers include a security feature that blocks third-party cookies by default. The default setting is Prevent cross site tracking. This setting prevents the embedding of any cross-domain content into the main web page.
If the top-level application domain is different from the Pega domain, the browser considers Pega Platform cookies to be third-party.
This change negatively affects all deployments using Pega Web Mashup, which require the following solution. For security reasons, application users are not recommended to disable the default security setting to use Pega Web Mashup.
Solution
- To resolve this issue without dynamic system settings and Pega Platform patch release updates, request a Pega Cloud custom domain name.
- Use a proxy configuration in which the web server that hosts the
top-level application sends proxy requests to the Pega Cloud servers.
