Hello everyone. I am new to Kamo, and I also with with MailChimp for sending broadcast emails and have entered in as exceptions to block cookies for all of the various domain names that MailChimp uses. They set a lot of session cookies which are necessary in order to use their site.
And, doing this doesn't seem to make any difference at all at Kamo continues to block all cookies from MC, which every 30 seconds or so ends my session, forcing me to log back in again, loosing the session and all of the associated writing that I have been doing.
It's so intense that it's forcing me to write locally first and then cut and paste, hoping to be able to actually send an email out in less than an hour. :-)
I love the depth that Kamo blocks cookies, yet I need some kind of workaround that actually allows me to have cookies be functional for sites that have to have them in order to work.
Thank you to everyone, I so appreciate your assistance.
So far the only available option that I can figure out is to uninstall Kamo, reboot, use MailChimp and then reinstall Kamo. Way too cumbersome to be an effective tool.
There has to be an option that will allow me to fully use a site that absolutely requires cookies to be accepted in order to function.
Hoping that there is some kind of resolution to this that works.
I am having the same Issue with MailChimp. I installed Kamo yesterday. Today I had an email campaign that I needed to be sent, Kamo prevented me from logging into MailChimp. I tried adding MailChimp as approved web address which still did not allow MailChimp to load. Tracking report showed blocking MailChimp. I had to uninstall Kamo.
I'll report this issue to our development team so they can investigate further but first, can you please tell me what antivirus/firewall utility you are using?
Additionally, and if applicable, can you please tell me what VPN utility you use?
Hi @David Maria I wanted to follow-up with you on this as our development team has informed me of how it will soon be possible to whitelist websites from the anti-tracking mechanism of Kamo, at which time this problem can be easily resolved by creating an exclusion for MailChimp.
This will be made possible in the next version of Kamo we release and although we don't currently have a definitive estimation as to when it will be available, we do intend to release the new version of the software in the near future.
Thank you Megan, I am really looking forward to this as I love the features in Kamo, just not using them now as it's simply too much of a hassle to constantly uninstall and reinstall just to use MailChimp.
Hi @David Maria I wanted to follow-up with you on this as it is now possible to whitelist websites in Kamo, and I suspect this will resolve the MailChimp issue.
For this, simply add the MailChimp domains to the "Allowed websites" area of Kamo.
However if this doesn't work, or if you happen to encounter any other issues, please let me know; I'll be more than happy to help.
