How to get bill-pay and financial sites to work in Safari

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>When you see the lock icon to the left of a website’s URL in the Address and Search bar in Safari, you assume the site is secure. That may be nice for any site you visit, but it’s particularly critical for ones you use for banking, bill payment, and other financial purposes.</p><p>You may find, however, that after updating Safari or macOS you can longer get features on a financial site to work. That appears to be due to poor security practices at some institutions, maybe owing to them licensing the same server software to handle their customers’ needs.</p><p>The issue here is typically “<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/cross-site-tracking-lets-unpack-that/" rel="nofollow">cross-site tracking[/url],” which relies on passive linking among different sites. That can be as simple as an invisible single-pixel image placed on a webpage that is linked from another site. When you load a page from the first-party site (the site’s operator), the third-party image is loaded and information about you can be sent there. When that same one-pixel image appears in your browser on another site, that other party can track your behavior across sites.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3537528/how-to-get-bill-pay-and-financial-sites-to-work-in-safari.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
