cookie problem

[Adam]

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

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!!
