I go to a website. (expedia.com) It doesn't load. It tells me to Please allow cookies.

I have followed these instructions.

Open the Tools menu at the top of this browser window and select "Internet Options..."
Click the "Privacy" tab
Ensure that the privacy level is set no higher than "Medium High"
Click the "OK" button

I do it. (Its not that hard) But it still doesn't load, infact, the same message comes up.

Click the advanced button on the Privacy tab.

Set this up to allow first-party cookies, block third-party cookies and allow session cookies.

The problem with the slider on the Cookie dialog is that the cookies get blocked because the sites don't comply with how IE wants to do things. Therefore the solution is to tell Internet Explorer to ignore this and just set the cookie. Which is what you do when you go into the Advanced button :whistling:

did you try putting the url in your security setting to allow the cookies
depends on what type of security you got but all of them block cookies
all you got to do is find the settings and add the website to the settings
you may have to type it inthe web site

Hello Everyone...
this is my first post here and I have the same problem with a site I really need to log on to. I have tried everything suggested and then some. I can not log on either with IE or Firefox due to the cookie problem. I have added the site, allowed the cookie and so forth. I am using IE 7.

I did have Zone Alarm installed and thought somehow that was causing the problem - I deleated it - no difference. I am now using McAfee firewall and Anti Virus but am not sure how to check there to see if it is stoping me. I have turned it off but still can't get on.

I need some serious Geek help here .......please! :whistling:

Thanks in advance.

Click on the Tools-menu in Internet Explorer
Click on the Internet Options item in the menu - a new window opens
Click on the Privacy tab near the top of the window. (See image below)
Move the slider (See image) so that is on one of the levels below Medium High (including Medium, Low, Accept All Cookies
Save changes by clicking Ok

I have tried that one already. Thanks. I have even set it to the lowest it can go. I have also tried adding the site and telling it to always allow. Still won't work. Same problem in firefox also. I think it might be a firewall issue. That's why I removed Zone Alarm - I have McAfee but can't see where I would be blocking it there.

I am about at my wits end on this one. I need to get on this site for my business - it's where I do the marketing campains for my website - I'm really about to cry here! LOL

Any more ideas????

Sammi
