I can login to my banking site but when I go to bill pay it says cookies are blocked. I googled it but nothing seems to unblock it. The bank said there's nothing they can do on their end. Anyone else have this issue and how can I fix it?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.15

Try going to Safari/Preferences/Privacy and uncheck Prevent cross-site tracking, then quit/reopen Safari and test.


Others are seeing the same thing. It seems to be a bug in the newest Safari 13 version.

Try another browser until the problem is fixed.


Firefox        10.9 or higher


Opera Browser        10.9 or higher


SeaMonkey      10.9 or higher8


Waterfox          10.8 or higher


You can also try Safari Technology Preview. Go to Safari/Preferences/Advanced and check Show Develop menu in menu bar. Go to the Develop menu and select Get Safari Technology Preview. Open from the Applications folder.

Try this...

Clear your Temporary Internet Files in Safe Mode:

First, Boot into Safe Mode and then Clear your Temporary Internet Files of Safari:

  1. Booting into Safe Mode: [hold down shift upon boot until the login screen appears]. See if this is still an issue. Safe Mode lets items run as default, without changes whatsoever. That is possible because caches of your macOS are temporarily disabled while in Safe Mode
  2. Clearing your Temporary Internet Files (Cookies & Cache) of Safari: Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data. Whereas Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.  Use this Link: Clearing History and Cache - Apple Communities
