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?

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.
I updated to the latest Safari and things are working well.
Thanks to everyone for their input and knowledge.
I'm having the same problem on a site that has 2 domains that share cookies through an <iframe>. Up until now disabling "Prevent cross-site tracking" has always allowed the site to work. Now with Safari 13.0.4, it's like the option does not disable even when you uncheck the preference. This is failing on High Sierra and Mojave after Safari was updated, but oddly enough it seems to work on Catalina with the limited testing I did.
Toggling the option on and off as suggested in the Reddit thread did not work for my site.
Chrome and FireFox continue to work fine when the appropriate 3rd party cookie sharing options are enabled.
This version of Safari is seriously broken and there is no way to go back. You can't restore a previous version of Safari from Time Machine without restoring the entire OS. These are serious design failures.
Edit: I should add that I was updating from Safari 12, so I cannot verify if 13.0.3 would have worked or not.

Appears to be a common problem with Safari 13.0.4 and I found a fix on Reddit.com. Log on with Cross Tracking unchecked and go to Bill Pay: then CHECK Prevent Cross-site tracking; then UNCHECK and try Bill Pay again. It worked for me -LOL................

Morning Tim. It's not a Catalina
bug, its the latest Safari 13.0.4. I was able to correct it by going into Safari preference>Privacy, then putting a check in Prevent cross-sire tracking You can do this while you are in your banking bill paying section. Few seconds it should refresh. or log out and back in. Hope it works for you..
I'm having the same problem with Mojave 13.0.4. So, not sure if upgrading is the answer.
Safari version 13.0.4 enable cookies
