How do you turn on the cookies though???

Answer 1

Click the TOOLS buttton at the top. Look for INTERNET OPTIONS and click, look for SETTINGS and click. Open the FILES button, this access all web sites you have been to along with all cookies downloaded.

After opening INTERNET OPTIONS you should have access to deleting either just files or just cookies. Delete the files then open your settings button to view the cookies on your system.

Answer 2

You want to turn on the cookie file?????
Didnt quite understand your question, but here is a way to get to the location where the cookies/temporary internet files are stored in your computer.
Open Internet Explorer->tools->internet options->general tab->settings->view files.


Hope this will help you in some way!

HTTP cookies, sometimes known as web cookies or just cookies, are parcels of text sent by a server to a web browser and then sent back unchanged by the browser each time it accesses that server. HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, tracking, and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences and the contents of their electronic shopping carts. The term "cookie" is derived from "magic cookie," a well-known concept in Unix computing which inspired both the idea and the name of HTTP cookies.

Cookies have been of concern for Internet privacy, since they can be used for tracking browsing behavior. As a result, they have been subject to legislation in various countries such as the United States and in the European Union. Cookies have also been criticised because the identification of users they provide is not always accurate and because they could potentially be used for network attacks. Some alternatives to cookies exist, but each has its own drawbacks.

Cookies are also subject to a number of misconceptions, mostly based on the erroneous notion that they are computer programs. In fact, cookies are simple pieces of data unable to perform any operation by themselves. In particular, they are neither spyware nor viruses, despite the detection of cookies from certain sites by many anti-spyware products.

Most modern browsers allow users to decide whether to accept cookies, but rejection makes some websites unusable. For example, shopping baskets implemented using cookies do not work if cookies are rejected.
In particular, scripting languages such as JavaScript and JScript are usually allowed access to cookie values and have some means to send arbitrary values to arbitrary servers on the Internet. These facts are used in combination with sites allowing users to post HTML content that other users can see.
