How do you enable cookies on your computer?

Question

How do you enable cookies on your computer?

Answer 1

You don't enable or disable cookies on your computer. Cookies mean nothing to your computer. Cookies are only relevant to your internet browsers.

Cookies are enabled and disabled for your internet browser, each one individually (firefox, opera, safari, IE, etc)

Each browser does it a little differently, but look for PREFERENCES or OPTIONS in the menus. it'll be under there somewhere.

Answer 2

Go into the "Tools" menu and select "options". There should be a tab that says "Privacy" with a section for "cookies". Select the check box that says something to the effect of "Allow cookies" and click "Apply".

Answer 3

-> Open Internet Browser

   -> Open Tools Menu

      -> Open Options Menu

         -> Open Privacy/Security Tab

            -> Check Accept Cookies Box

How to Enable Cookies ...All browsers

Answer 6

In Firefox,

There seem to be two parts to this, and I’m not sure how they interact. First, there's the saving of cookies:

1. Click on the Tools->Options menu item.

2. Click the Privacy tab.

3. Under Cookies, elect an expiration option in the list box.

That tells Firefox to save them; now we tell it not to delete them. Sound redundant? Wait and see.

4. Under Private Data, see if the check box for "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox" is checked If it's blank, you're done. OK out of everything.

5. But if it's checked you may have a decision to make. Click the Settings button and see if Cookies is selected on the list of things to clear. If it is, you have to either a) clear it if you really want the other things deleted or, if you don't want anything deleted, b) cancel and go back to the previous box and clear the checkbox there.

6. OK out of everything and you should be done.

In Internet Explorer,

1. Click the Tools->Internet Options menu item.

2. On the Privacy tab, select a Cookies policy.  Medium usually suffices.

3. Click the Advanced button for more specific control over cookies.

4. Click OK.

Hope that helps.
