Using Chartbuddy on Microsoft Edge

Configure cookie settings to enable Chartbuddy in Microsoft Edge

Issue

Microsoft Edge blocks third-party cookies by default, which prevents Chartbuddy from communicating with Google Slides. You'll need to add a cookie exception for docs.google.com to use Chartbuddy.

Configuration Steps

Step 1

Open Edge cookie settings

Copy and paste this URL into Edge's address bar:

edge://settings/privacy/cookies
Edge address bar with cookie settings URL
Step 2

Locate the cookie exceptions section

Scroll down to find the section titled "Allowed to save cookies" and click the Add site button.

Cookie settings page showing Allowed to save cookies section
Step 3

Add the Google Docs domain

In the dialog, enter the following domain (without https://):

docs.google.com

Click Add to save the exception.

Add site dialog with docs.google.com entered
Step 4

Refresh Google Slides

Return to your Google Slides presentation and refresh the page:

  • Windows: Press F5 or Ctrl+R
  • Mac: Press Cmd+R

Complete

Chartbuddy should now work in Microsoft Edge. If you still experience issues, verify that the Chartbuddy extension is installed and enabled, then try restarting your browser.
