Enable cookies on Firewall?

Hi wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to access a site and get error saying cannot proceed as you may have disallowed cookies altogether in your browser or that I have the privacy policy in your browser or internet security software/firewall set to a level that stops cookies from being used by this shopping site
On IE/Internet Options/Privacy I have listed the site under managed sites, I've also tried setting privacy to 'Allow all cookies' and still get the same error.
Is there settings on my BT Home Hub 2.0 firewall that are maybe blocking cookies?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Solved!

I dont think so but try Firefox browser from
http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6.12&os=win&lang=en-US
if that lets you use the sites then its an IE problem I think you may prefer Firefox as many people do
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

My scool uses Windows Live for webmail (Outlook), and when I try to access it, it says I have to enable cookies; I already have, but it doesn't recognize it.

Everything worked fine until I was closing my webmail session, and Windows Live said I was not logged out - I had to delete cookies and close all other tabs. I did this, andWindows Live then said I had to enable cookies to log out. I checked my settings, and cookies are enabled (custom settings for history, "accept third party cookies" and "keep until"l are set). I even closed out of everything and did a restart, but no luck. It all works OK in IE still, so it's not the school website's problem. (But I don't want to use IE)
Everything was fine until I deleted cookies - I have always ignored the message about closing Windows Live before - I just didn't today...

Why can't I login to Firefox Accounts to set up Sync? FF30+ keeps telling me to Please enable cookies; cookies ARE enabled, already tried Safe Mode.

Exactly what it says on the tin.
Why can't I log-in to Firefox Accounts to set up Sync from my laptop PC? FF30+ keeps telling me to Please enable cookies; cookies ARE enabled, and I already tried Safe Mode. This has been happening ever since the new Sync was implemented, so I'm guessing around FF 30. I am now up to FF version 34 and it still isn't working. I have not been able to sync since the "update."
Problem #1: Going to about:accounts and clicking on the blue Get Started button opens a blank screen. There isn't even a prompt about cookies. It's just blank. Screen shot attached.
This is before add-ons are disabled. If they're disabled in Safe Mode, we go to Problem #2.
Problem #2: I skimmed a thread (https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/issues/1017) and tried logging in to Sync through accounts.mozilla.com instead, but though the screen doesn't turn blank while add-ons are still enabled, the "Enable cookies" warning is as far as I can get. Going to about:accounts in Safe Mode has the same result. I have cleared all my cookies and my cache, restarted FF multiple times with and without add-ons enabled, and still nothing. I have browsed this support forum for similar questions, and while other people are having the same issue, none of the other threads have been resolved yet. Several FF versions later, this is way too long for this issue to still be unresolved.... Screen shot attached.
I know where Firefox's cookie manager is located, and I have toggled all the settings. I even allowed third-party cookies (though I really shouldn't since they're pointless). No difference. Screen shot attached.
I looked in about:config and searched for the word "cookie" in the names, but even doing that is pointless for me since I'm not a programmer and hence ignorant in what all these settings actually mean. Screen shot attached.
I'm at the end of my rope here, guys. It's been months. A year. Maybe more than a year; I don't even know anymore. I just got a new device and I don't want to add all my Firefox information to it one-by-one. There doesn't seem to be any way to contact Mozilla directly, so.... Someone help, please....

NoScript stops cookies, please disable this addon/extension as well as make sure that the language en-us is installed.
# 1) Open up the Firefox Preferences tab. You can do this by typing about:preferences in the URL bar.
# 2) Click "Content"
# 3) Next to "Languages", click "Choose"
# 4) Select "English/United States [en-us]", click "Add"
# 5) re-open "about:accounts"
# 6) Click "Get Started"

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set. Also, this screenshot was taken in Safe Mode, so NoScript is not enabled. About:accounts still says I need to enable cookies for some reason. So, this solution didn't work....

I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone I need to enable. Thanks.

Question
I have a Mac OS 10.6.7 running Firefox 4.0.1. What happened to the enable cookies in Preference/Privacy. It's gone and I think I need to enable. I can't log on to Citibank to pay my bills using Firefox or Safari for that matter. Citibank says cookies must be enabled to access their on-line bank. I wonder if this is the problem...cookies that is?

Yes, I found the cookies, and thanks for taking the time to help out. I called Citibank. They told me that they will not support Firefox or Safari for Mac because our user group is too small for them and the expense too high. The person that I spoke to said in the past, Firefox has worked with Citi, but that was just by accident. At the moment they have no plans to help Mac people using the latest OS log onto their website or enable programs like my Quicken or Mint.com to access. They don't work anymore either. I think all the problems happened after the last OS update.

I keep getting an error message that says "You need cookies to login to this site. Please enable cookies." I checked cookies and they're enabled. I went through and did what it said to fix errors like this and it still says that. How can I fix this?

I am trying to login to a website and every time I go to login I get a message that says "You need cookies for this site. Please enable cookies." I've checked cookies and they're enabled, I even put that specific website on allow. I searched for information on how to correct this error and did all that it said, yet I still get this message.

I have the exact same problem! With just one website. It's when I have a second account on it. I can sign in with my original (old) account, but not with my new account that I wish to sign in on. I've talked to a lot of people members of the website who have second accounts and this doesn't happen with them, it's only with my firefox. I've done everything I can to enable cookies, 3rd party cookies, no exceptions, etc.
But it must be something to do with my computer because I did the same thing on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and it's exactly the same. :/

How do I enable cookies on Windows 7

Some sites do hold my password for access ( e.g. credit card) when I went to ' help'. the suggestion for firefox was to go to firefox then 'tools', etc. When I explored firefox and open the different windows I was not able to find tools. Further investigation I found similar instructions but it stated it was for Windows XP. So how can I enable cookies on Windows 7?

Hi Esther.Applegate,
Do you have the ''Firefox'' menu in the upper left hand side of the screen? If you do, hit ''Alt'' to temporarily enable the ''Menu bar''. Then go to ''Tools > Options > Privacy''. The article [[Enabling and disabling cookies]] will show you how to set an exception for that site.
If you want the ''Menu bar'' on at all times, go to ''Firefox > Options'' and enable ''Menu bar''.
Hopefully this helps!

Can't enable cookies

I keep getting informed by Google+ that I need to enable cookies to log in, but I HAVE cookies enabled in all browsers.
I checked my Firefox folder, but could not find a profile folder anywhere to check if cookies.sqlt was corrupted.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO RESET FIREFOX TO ITS DEFAULT SETTINGS AND AFFIRM THAT COOKIES ARE ENABLED BEFORE GOOGLE WILL ACCEPT THIS????
This problem just started today, and has never been an issue before, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to contact Google about any form of technical support, and the few methods available require you to log into your account!!

Also, this same stupidity is happening no matter what browser I use!!

I will change the settings to enable cookies but when i close the options window even though I hit ok the changes I make are not saved

I need to use an ebook online but whenever I try opening it nothing happens, I emailed their tech support and they said I needed to enable cookies. I followed the instructions on your website and when I hit ok and closed the options tab nothing changed, when I reopened it they had been reset to their previous standards, how do I fix this

Enable Cookies - No "Security Icon" in Preferences

Going to Safari Help tells me that I should click on Safari - Preferences - Security to enable cookies on sites that I want to navigate. However, when I go to Safari - Preferences there is no icon or button for "Security". What's up with that?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Adding to Yang's helpful suggestion, if you want to create better control over your cookie file, have a look at SafariPlus. Very easy to use, and makes the handling of cookies a breeze.

How to enable cookies to watch video clips??

I was sent a link to a website to watch video clips (educational training).
On the registration page it tells me I will need to "enable cookies" in order
to watch the video clips-please adjust your browser settings. It tells me what I have to do but not how.
I've gone to quicktime preferences and everything seems like it's on the correct settings.
Any clues?
Thanks

There is some confusion here.
Firstly you cannot run Safari 4.0.4 with the operating system you show, 10.4.10, you need to update to 10.4.11 AND install the latest Security updates.
Secondly, when you open Safari Preferences you get the following icons:
General, Appearance, Bookmarks, Tabs, RSS, Autofill, Security, Advanced.
In the small Preferences window, top right-hand corner, do you see a small oval 'button'?
Try clicking on that.

TS1702 App store keeps telling me my iPad settings have to be set to enable cookies to download apps. The setting is done, but why do I keep getting the same message to change the settings?

I'm just setting up my new iPad. I tried to download an app for the first time but kept getting a notice that said cookies have to be enabled. I have followed the directions on enabling cookies, but I keep getting the same message when I try to download the app.

Is this how you do it?

Cannot enable cookies

Cannot enable cookies even after gong thru tools, options, privacy, "use custom settings for history" procedures. Reverts back to "remember history". Firefox 4.0

Hi, Alison. OS X includes a whole lot of little components that one ordinarily never sees. Some are invisible, and some are just buried deep down in the folder hierarchy somewhere other than the Applications folder. Some of these are applications, though they have no user interfaces and you probably don't even suspect that they exist, never mind interact with them directly. If you do a search for all the applications on your hard drive, some or all of these will turn up, depending on what you use to search for them. And because they're part of the OS, heaven only knows what consequences will ensue if they're deleted.
I don't know exactly how AppZapper works, but I mistrust anything that, without my informed consent, deletes any file whose function(s) I don't know. I've always refused to use automated "cleanup" tools that substitute their developers' judgment for my own. And especially since adopting OS X with its hundreds of thousands of mysterious files, I've completely refrained from deleting — automatically or manually — anything from my drives that I'm not perfectly certain I can do without. I wouldn't dream of using AppZapper to do a wholesale cleanup, and even less would I dream of setting it loose on any application that lived outside the Applications folder. Nor would I delete any application from inside that folder that was installed as part and parcel of my OS (such as Disk Utility, Mail, Safari, Address Book, iCal, and a host of other small utility apps: Printer Setup Utility, Airport Utility, Image Capture, DVD Player, etc.).
Maybe I'm just needlessly suspicious. But considering how often in life things prove to be interconnected in unexpected ways, and how bewilderingly complex OS X is "under the hood", I suspect that your faith in AppZapper's good judgment about what was OK to delete may have been misplaced.
