I'm getting an error message about 3rd party cookies on Moodle. What can I do in Safari to prevent this?

This error will appear on web browsers that are configured to block 3rd party session cookies. Students might see it when trying to view a video in a Moodle site since the video is hosted by another site, like MediaSpace.
