Cookies not accepted

More and more, I am running into sites for which my computer will not accept
cookies. These are reputable sites, which I have been accessing for years. A
link is given to a help screen, but nothing suggested seems to work.
Any thoughts?

**I have security settings at medium. An example of one thing I tried was to
purchase a piece of software (download) It would not recognize it, and gave
me the message:
"To add items to your shopping cart, you must enable cookies. The ordering
