PDF's can be designed to be complex documents with features such as interactive forms, multimedia content, scripting and other capabilities. That said, oftentimes for a PDF to function and present the information that it's designed to, a user will have to enable the cross-site tracking feature if it is unknowingly turned on. To enable this feature on all hardware platforms, please see below:
To enable cross-site tracking using Chrome:
- On your computer, open the Chrome browser
- At the top right, you will see a button with 3 small dots (or it can be an upward facing arrow if an update is available) - Click this button, then scroll down to "Settings"
- Under "Privacy and Security," click "cookies and other site data"
- Click the "Do not track" request with your browsing traffic to the "On" position
To enable cross-site tracking using Firefox:
- At the top right, you will press the button that has 3 horizontal lines
- Select "Privacy Protections"
- Under "Enhanced Tracking Protection," press the gear symbol that is likely defaulted to "protection level is set to Standard"
- Scroll down to the "Send websites a Do Not Track" signal that you don't want to be tracked"
- Toggle the radio button to "Only when Firefox is set to block known trackers"
To enable cross-site/cross-domain tracking on MAC:
- Open the Safari browser, click "Preferences" in the Safari settings
