Certain Wealthsimple features, such as e-signing your documents require your browser to accept third-party cookies.

Cookies are pieces of data stored by web browsers that websites and applications can use to remember a web browser from one request to the next. They allow features like shopping carts and user account logins to function.

Many web browsers make a distinction between first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created by the web server identified by the address shown in the browser's address bar. Third-party cookies can be created when content is loaded from domains other than the one shown in the address bar. In Wealthsimple's case, we use a Third-party, called Docusign, to manage our e-signature process.

Some browsers allow users to decide whether or not the third-party cookies should be accepted. To configure your browser to allow third-party cookies, follow the instructions below.
