238493 2004-05-22 03:43:00 I have been trying to re-enable my cookies ,but have had no luck. I have compared my settings to those of the other user and they appear the same. I'm running XPHome + internet ex. I have recently downloaded xp and Norton upgrades - could either of these disabled my cookies ? I have also recently installed AdAware.
Any ideas ?

238495 2004-05-22 08:53:00 Adaware wont delete cookies, but in Internet Explorer the cookie settings are in Tools-Internet Options-Privacy. Check in there to see if they are blocked.
There is a Custom option as well as the slider bar settings.

"Internet Explorer the cookie settings are in Tools-Internet Options-Privacy"

Click on the ADVANCED button (in privacy) and you can set your own cookie handling options - only if you check the "override automatic cookie handling" tick-box at the top-left.

I personally have
- BLOCK all third party
- PROMPT for all first party
- allways allow session cookies

If you have the same options set - every time a site wants to place a cookie on your machine - you will be given the option to say no if you want to (you will be prompted).

You could prompt for first & third party, but you will get inundated by prompts - been there, done that.
