I've got a Dell, Windows home edition. I've tried to reset the privacy to enable cookies and it's good, but still nothing! Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I can't and I've tried everything that I can think of? Anyone that can help knows the deal. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!

Quite frankly, are you insane? Cookies are not something you want on your computer! Any tracking devices should be eliminated immediately. You are opening yourself to computer virus and crash. Check your firewall and make sure it is set where you want it. Meanwhile, load yourself with antivirus, spyware, malware protection when you let everything into your system.

Open Internet Explorer. At the very top under "Tools", select "Internet Options". Select the "Privacy" tab. You will then see a button in the middle that says "Advanced". Click that...and choose "Accept" for First-Party and/or Third-Party cookies.
A third-party cookie is one that either originates on or is sent to a website other than the one you are currently viewing.
And of course, the First-Party cookie is one that originates from the original site that you are visiting.
Select "Always" for First Party and/or Third-Party cookies if you always want those cookies to be accepted.
Choose "Deny" if you never want any other website to be able to read from or write cookies to your computer, apart from the original website you are visiting.
If you want one or both to ask you first which ones to accept and which to deny, then choose "Prompt".
The option with the checkbox that says, "Always allow session cookies" is for sites where you log in with a username and password. Such as a bank...a website message board, etc. Usually that is a must.

One thing that people forget when changing settings in IE is to change the setting to get a new version of the page each visit. Otherwise, it will often use a cached (stored) version and the changes you made seem to not apply themselves. If you have this symptom, click on Tools/Internet Options. Look for the section Browsing history, and click on Settings. Select Every Time I Visit a Page for the option. Click OK out of the window.

Go into Tools in Firefox or Internet Options in IE. Enable cookies in Privacy
