**Brief description:** If browser is set to block 3rd party cookies, embedded p…layer does not work. Errors from Chrome console: ``` Failed to get log level override from local storage. 7:41:28 PM [ERROR] Uncaught error. DOMException: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document. ``` Errors from Firefox console: ``` Failed to get log level override from local storage. 7:42:02 PM [ERROR] Uncaught error. DOMException: The operation is insecure. ``` **How to reproduce:** Set your browser to block 3rd party cookies and try to watch some embedded stream or VOD. **Expected behavior:** Working embedded player as before. **Screenshots:** N/A **Additional context or questions:** - tested using [Non-Interactive Inline Frames for Live Streams and VODs](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/video-and-clips/#non-interactive-inline-frames-for-live-streams-and-vods) method - probabaly same issue as [issue #149](https://github.com/twitchdev/issues/issues/149) - probably related to latest changes with required parent parameter

Incognito blocks cookies/various stuff by default

And the behaviour of incognito changed recently to force this option on. Hence the embed not working in incognito as the browser is blocking

Works fine in my incognito, perhaps I have different preferences set for my incognito
