Safari won't accept cookies

Hi all,
Past few days I have tried going to websites that require cookies but I am unable to access them. They report that my browser has cookies off even though cookies are enabled in the Settings app. I have tried deleting cache, cookies, history. Toggled the switch several times. Still no love.
I read some people have problems with cookies disappearing after closing the browser but at this point I cannot get Safari to accept them at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hard reset yet?
Hold the Home & Sleep buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds until Apple logo appears.

  • Yahoo mail login says Firefox won't accept cookies but my option is too accept cookies - so what's wrong?

    My wife and I can't log into our Yahoo e-mail accounts (or, I guess, our Yahoo account). Whenever we try, we get the message: "The browser you're using refuses to sign in (cookies rejected)".
    However, my cookies setting in Firefox is: 1) accept cookies 2) accept third-party cookies 3) keep cookies until they expire.
    A few days ago I did change the cookie settings to 1) accept cookies from sites 2) do not accept cookies from sites 3) ask me every time. I also deleted a lot of cookies I didn't recognize or didn't want. I did this because I was (and still am) having trouble with a re-direction virus.
    So if anyone has any suggestions as to what needs to be done to make Yahoo e-mail accessible again I would very much appreciate their advice.
    I thank everyone for their advice in advance.
    Thanks a million.

    Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
    *Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
    OR
    *Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
    *Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
    Let us know if this solves the issues you are having.

  • Safari won't delete cookies.

    I know this has been asked before but it doesn't seem to me that it's ever been resolved.
    Safari is version 6.0.5 on Lion 10.7.5. If I try to delete cookies, within a few minutes a lot, but not all of them re-appear. I want to get rid of them because I've noticed that if I visit some sites, then others, all of a sudden ads, sometimes slooooow running ads with video.
    Side note to any advertisers: Being obnoxious and stalking people isn't exactly endearing me to your products.
    I don't seem to see the same problems with FireFox, SeaMonkey, or Chrome, although I rarely use Chrome well enough to be sure. I also have an old laptop PPC running Leopard, and I've noticed that when I kill the cookies on it they're gone.
    Is there a resolution to this?
    Thanks.

    When it comes to cookie management on Safari ...  much better off using another browser.
    It's been discussed here extensively.
    Older versions of OS X such as Leopard. Cookies are not handled the same as in recent Safari versions.

  • Safari not accepting cookies from Blaze + Spring

    Hi,
    I have a facebook game with BlazeDS, Spring and Hibernate and in Firefox, Chrome and IE is working perfect.
    But in Safari doesn't work.
    If I put the Cookie Settings of Safari to Always accept cookies it works.
    But if my configuration is in "Only sites I visit" it doesn't work.
    The weird thing here is that I visit the page from the game, so clearly it should be accepted.
    The Arquitecture of the Game is an Apache with the SWF and then another Server that is running Java with Blaze.
    Does anyone have any clue about this?

    I followed this thread and I made it work.

  • Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies.  I've tried to reset safari but the problem persists.  How can make safari Never accept cookies.

    I'm having a problem with cookies on Safari.
    Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies.  I've tried to Reseting Safari several time but the problem persists.  This is occurring under two different user logins one of whom is an administrator the other a standard user.  How can I get safari to Never accept cookies?  This is a recent problem because in the past it used to work properly. Any idea what might be going on here?

    Hi David:
    I did read (yesterday in another thread) about a similar problem.  I cannot test it myself as I accept cookies (from sites I visit) and do not want to delete all of mine for a test.
    I do not know whether it meets your requirements, but you could turn on private browsing.  I use that (or Microsoft's variant on IE) when I use public computers.

  • Safari Private Browsing keeps cookies

    I thought that Safari was supposed to purge the cookies added during private browsing as well...seems as if it did that before, but doesn't now.

    HI Jim,
    This from the Safari Help Menu:
    About cookies
    A cookie is a small file created by a website to store information. The cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies are normally helpful and harmless; it’s rare to encounter a bad cookie.
    When you visit a website that uses cookies, the site asks Safari to put cookies on your computer. When you return to the site later, Safari sends back the cookies that belong to the site. The cookies tell the site who you are so that the site can show you information that’s appropriate for you.
    Cookies can store information that identifies you, such as your name and email address. A website has access only to the information you provide. For example, a website can’t determine your email address unless you provide it. A website can’t gain access to other information on your computer.
    When you use the default cookie preferences in Safari, you won’t know when Safari is accepting or sending cookies.
    You can change your cookies preferences so that Safari doesn’t accept cookies or accepts them only from limited sources.

  • Marked preferences for accepting cookies "never"  but they still show up later in the log as being accepted.

    Although I marked in Safari preferences to never accept cookies,  when I check back later ("never" still checked) the log indicates Safari has been accepting cookies.  Am I missing something?

    Reinstall the 10.6.8 v.1.1 COMBO update, which will reinstall Safari 5.0.5. See if the problem persists. If not, don't update to 5.1. If so, create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if it persists.

  • Updated osi :-( struggling with apples store now.  Says I need to accept cookies. I DO it won't let go any further

    I do accept cookies!!!!!  I have rebooted and still could not get in.  Can anyone help me with this?

    Are you logging in to your Apple ID account in the Settings app, or trying to log in to store.apple.com in Safari?

  • Safari 3.0.4 in Leopard not accepting cookies for sites I navigate to.

    I'm currently using Safari 3.0.4 on Mac OS 10.5.1. And since upgrading to Leopard, I have the following problem:
    Safari will no longer accept a required cookie when I try to login to a site that I visit regularly. This behavior was not present with the same version of Safari running in 10.4.x.
    Currently, Safari (on 10.5) is set to accept cookies for "sites you navigate to". And as far as I can tell, during the login process, I never leave the domain to which I navigated. When changing the cookie setting to accept All Cookies, the login cookie is accepted as you might expect. And logging in with Firefox 2.x and an equivalent cookie setting, the site works fine.
    Strangely, this cookie-blocking behavior is not present in Safari 3.0.4 running on another system which has OS 10.4.x.
    Did something change in Leopard, which might cause this behavior?
    This is the site I'm trying to login to, as a paid subscriber:
    http://www.architectureweek.com/
    Thanks for any advice or insight!

    This exactly describes a problem effecting users on our site - on our test 10.4 machine with Safari 3.04 and blocking third party cookies there's no problem, but on a 10.5 box users have to accept all cookies to login.
    Given the time our users started reporting this we think it's related to the security patch of 11th Feb:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307430
    With particular reference to this paragraph:
    Description: A memory corruption issue exists in Safari's handling of URLs. By enticing a user to access a maliciously crafted URL, an attacker may cause an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of URLs. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.5.
    but that's just an educated guess at the moment - we think our cookies are being blocked as part of this beefed up "validation" - whatever that is.
    If anyone else has a similar experience or can offer any further suggestions I'd be very interested to hear from them.

  • Accept Cookies in Safari

    When I want to download an app, a note comes on the screen saying that I have to accept Cookies in Safari. How do I do that?

    To accept Cookies go to Settings > Safari > Block Cookies and set to "Never" or "From Third Parties and Advertisers".

  • How can I get Safari 5.0.5 to stop accepting cookies?

    I have, since time immemorial, set my Safari preferences to never accept cookies.  That partially broke starting with Safari 4.x.  In Safari 5.0.5 it simply accepts all cookies and ignores the setting of "never" in preferences.  I've tried changing it away from, then back to this setting without success.  Is there any way to restore this functionality? 

    I am one of the many people who have come to these discussions in the last weeks in the hopes of finding an answer to this cookies problem. Yesterday I talked to an Apple phone advisor who told me these forums exist for Apple users to assist each other -- and that Apple personnel don't regularly monitor them. He said he was unaware of the problem, didn't advise using the "Report Bugs to Apple" option in Safari but to go to this link
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
    and report the problem. I did. I don't know if anything is being done about it or not. But perhaps if more people who are having this problem would use the link it might make someone take notice.
    Worth a try.

  • HT2101 My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

    My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always"

    Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always",? There are always a list of every website with cookies. Is that just a record of what could've been accepted or its a bogus feature that still accepts regardless of what feature is on?

    Apple has rolled over users since OS X 10.6.8 when this issue first appeared.
    If you want a browser that actually CARES about it's users, then install Firefox, it's the only one that does.
