How can I resolve the issue of being unable to login to the Webflow editor using Safari on macOS due to the warning about third party cookies? I have already tried disabling extensions, unchecking the 'block third party cookies' setting in preferences, clearing cookies, and republishing the site but none of these solutions have worked. Is there a permanent solution for this problem? I am concerned about potential difficulties in the future since most users will be using Safari.

You're encountering a known issue where Webflow’s Editor interface doesn’t load in Safari due to its strict third-party cookie handling, even if the relevant settings are adjusted manually. This typically happens when the Editor is embedded as an iframe on your site (e.g., via edit mode), and Safari blocks the required authentication cookies.

1. Understand Why Safari Blocks Editor Login

• Safari uses Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) to aggressively block third-party cookies, especially in iframe contexts.
• Webflow Editor uses authentication cookies that Safari flags as third-party in certain conditions (e.g., when opened through yoursite.com?edit).
• Even with “Block all cookies” turned off, Safari may still suppress cookies in cross-site iframe contexts.

2. Try These Workarounds for Safari

• Open Webflow Editor directly: Instead of using the Editor overlay (?edit) on your published site, go to editor.webflow.com directly and sign in.
• Login via Chrome or Firefox: Temporarily use another browser to access the Editor. This doesn't solve the Safari issue long-term but helps verify access.
• Open Web Editor from Webflow Dashboard:
• Go to Webflow Dashboard from Safari.
• Select your project and click Editor. This may bypass cookie issues in some cases.

3. Long-Term Solutions

• Avoid relying solely on Safari for Editor access: Educate clients and team members to use Google Chrome or Firefox for Editor sessions, which handle cookies differently.
• Monitor Webflow forums or the Webflow Status page for future bug fixes or official support for Safari Editor compatibility.
• Submit feedback to Webflow Support: If this issue is critical for your workflow, open a ticket at https://university.webflow.com/contact. Continuous feedback may influence their prioritization.

4. If Your Clients Must Use Safari

• Consider embedding a button in your client dashboard (if applicable) that opens the Editor in a new tab via direct link (from dashboard, not iframe).
• Provide clear instructions: “Please use Chrome or Firefox for editing to avoid Safari cookie issues.”

Summary

Safari’s aggressive cookie policies block Webflow’s Editor login when accessed via ?edit or other iframe contexts. The only reliable workaround is to access the Editor via the Webflow dashboard or using Chrome/Firefox. Unfortunately, there is no permanent fix within Safari as of now without changes from Apple or Webflow. Educating users and adjusting workflows is currently the best solution.
