# Private browsing

Why is consent valid on my site in private browsing, but not across multiple sites in standard browsing?

When the browser does not support third-party cookies or if the user has disabled them, it is impossible to apply their choices across multiple sites. In this case, the user's choices are only applied to the specific site they are visiting.

Currently, on the Chrome browser in private mode, third-party cookies are disabled by default. This is why choices are applied to what is known as a local scope. It is possible to re-enable third-party cookies by modifying Chrome's settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cmp.docs.sirdata.net/en/faq/how-it-works/private-browsing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
