Note: Riva Insight is not supported in incognito/private browsing mode because browser privacy restrictions may block the cookies and storage required for authentication and Outlook web add-in functionality.

Third-Party Cookies / Tracking Prevention

Important! Riva Insight web add-ins rely on Microsoft third-party cookies for sign-on and supporting Microsoft Modern Exchange Connector (Graph) API calls.  Allowing third-party cookies for the Microsoft online domains used for authentication is necessary to ensure that the authentication and subsequent Graph API calls work correctly. The following must be allowed for third-party cookies and tracking prevention.

  1. [*.]microsoftonline.com
  2. [*.]office.com

The Northern Illinois University has a great reference on how to enable third-party cookies for the browsers and various OS platforms - How to disable third-party cookies.
