Enable Third Party Cookies

Introduction

In order for EdMod to work in Schoology and Canvas, Education Modified needs to be able to set third-party cookies on your browser. If the app is not able to do this, you may experience getting “stuck” on the approval screen in Schoology or Canvas. (I.E. When you click the ‘Approve’ button, nothing appears to happen.)

This behavior is usually caused by settings which prevent third-party cookies from being saved. Because these are the same types of cookies used by some advertisers, certain individuals and organizations choose to block them by default. These settings make Education Modified unusable as users cannot login properly within Schoology or Canvas. 

Here is how to check that third-party cookies are enabled by browser:
