Hello, I am having a problem accessing certain sites
that require cookies be enabled on my browser, such as
accessing my email in Yahoo. When i type in my user name
and password it tells me that my browser would not allow
me access because it didn't allow the cookie(s. I have
tried changing the cookie settings in teh privacy tab to
low, and allowing session cookies. I even deleted all
of my old cookies after doing this to ensure I wouldnt
have any problems. however, I still can not access my
email. if anyone out there has any advice it would be
greatly appreciated. please email me at
(e-mail address removed)

Set all your settings to default.

Hey Thank you. I had set everything to default and asked
it to prompt for 1st and 3rd party cookies, and it still
wouldnt work until I added the specific sites (like
yahoo.com) to the allow list. I really do not understand
why the cookies were being blocked. Ive also had a world
of trouble accessing hotmail as well. I have yet to try
it. But thank you very much for your assistance! It
is greatly appreaciated!! :)
