On Safari version 13.0.4, my bank's bill pay is saying that cookies are not enabled. Another device's safari is version 13.0.3 and there is no problem. I have the 'Block all Cookies' unchecked.
Both devices 'Security' and 'Privacy' settings are the same.
Is there a problem with the new version 13.0.4?
Chrome works fine.
iMac 21.5", macOS 10.13
Your only real choice is to login from Chrome Browser until Apple fixes Safari 13.04 which is the culprit here. You can use Chrome as a non-default browser for those websites that simply will not work with Safari 13.04 no matter what the settings as the "Block All Cookies" and "Prevent cross-site tracking" switches are clearly broken in Safari 13.04 for many websites. This includes many Banking Sites and many casual gaming sites. The common denominator for me appears to be many of these sites use Adobe Flash for interactive content and Apple has wisely always hated Flash as a exploit magnet but their tolerance for work arounds in Safari 13.04 seems to have ended and now many sites just no longer work in Safari.
Using Chrome just for those sites is far less trouble than trying to install an older version of Safari. Even if you need to temporarily change your default browser to Chrome so you can use links to these sites it is a simple process to go back and forth. Simply choose Apple Symbol in upper Left Corner and open System Preferences, Choose General and choose Chrome from drop down menu under Default Web Browser, do whatever you need do in those sites that do not work. Then reverse process and make Safari your default Browser again. This assumes you have already installed Chrome on your Mac. If not that is easy and free.
I still prefer Safari as it is both lighter in resource usage and faster than Chrome, but this is the only workaround I have found that actually works consistently across sites that don't like Safari 13.04.
MacOS High Sierra - 10.13.6
Safari - Version 13.0.4 (13608.4.9.1.4)
Another user account on the Mac experiences the same issue.
So far, this is the only site that I've noticed a problem with cookies.
Using a MacBook Pro, with Safari 13.0.3 does not experienced this issue.
I have not tried rebooting in Safe mode. Will that tomorrow.
And I have unchecked the Prevent cross-site tracking.
Mac 10/14.6 with Safari 13.0.4 and have the same problem - except it would not work last week and then started working - but will not work again for the past 2 days. Prevent Cross-site is UNCHECKED and Block All Cookies is Un-Checked. I think problem may be with Bill Pay making changes but WE NEED HELP NOW.
This is not working for me, I've tried it a lot of different ways and checking Prevent Cross-site tracking is having no effect on my inability to pay my bills. Anyone got an envelope and some stamps???
I couldn't agree more, Lou. Quite disappointing. I only use Safari and am not that excited to complicate my life with Chrome just to use the bill pay. So far, at least, that's the only problem I am having.
Many Websites no longer load and give a Message stating that Cookies are not enabled although I have Prevent Cross Site Cookies unchecked. I have even tried turning it off globally, nothing fixes this I can find. This is since installing the Latest Updates to Catalina 10.15.2 and Safari Version 13.0.4 (15608.4.9.1.3). Any actual fixes out there? Nothing suggested here works.
Glad I read through ALL of the threads before trying anything. Thanks to those who tried working through some of the suggestions/fixes. I also have had the same issues since updating to 13.0.4 on my iMac, late 2013, High Sierra 10.13.6. Like some of you I had tried the simple fixes under system preferences to no avail and then found this thread. My older iPad and iPhone XR have no issue accessing my banks website and making payments. This needs to be addressed and fixed. Don't want to go to Chrome and in fact can't go to Chrome on my iMac. Help us Apple! Give us an early Christmas present.
Thanks, I realized that and both filed a Feedback Report and talked to Support regarding this issue, I mention it here to help encourage others to let Apple know that this is a problem that requires resolution by fixing the bug not blaming Users or other companies website designers. Thanks for mentioning that though as I was remiss in not mentioning it myself.
If the simple solution is to upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave, then so be it and thank goodness for a simple solution! Does anyone know if the problem is solved in Catalina, as well? Before I get to work on upgrading the OS, is there any reason to not go to Catalina and just go to Mojave? I have a 2016 MacBook Pro so all options are available.
My bank's bill pay also says cookies are disabled, but I paid bills at the beginning of last month and had no problem. This did not happen when I first downloaded Catalina, so there must have been a problem with the latest update. I am on 10.15.2. Now my problem is how to pay my bills through my bank. Arrrgh!
I appreciate everyone who has suggested solutions.
Although a lot of people have had success with these suggestions, none has worked for me.
I've sent a feedback report to Apple and will continue to use Chrome for my banking needs.
Thanks again to everyone.
I am dealing, through my MAC, with 2 different banks, and I have the latest Mac Safari version. I can not do Bill Pay anymore, and even download my statements. It seems to be a Safari issue. Why is Apple so mute about this problem? How do I let them know? And finally, how difficult is it to install another browser, and what are the consequences to my existing system, where everything works so perfectly now, except for the issues mentioned above? Thank you!
This is an official release version and not beta so it should be safe to use on your production partition but I thought that about 13.0.4 so I won't admonish you for putting it on a test partition first.
I have the same problem as skip259 and have the same computer with all of the same software and all of the same settings. I tried rebooting in safe mode and the problem remains.
I also tried the newly-created admin user approach and the problem remains. Sorry, just wanted to be clear that I've tried all suggestions that I can find.
Thanks for the info, but this didn't work for me either. The Reddit thread also said it was a temporary fix.
I'm not going to update my MacBook's safari for a while.
Safari version 13.0.4 enable cookies
