Doesn't help if you have expired tech support.

I have made sure my iPad 2 Safari settings are set to accept cookies, I have cleared cookies & history, did a cold reset to no avail.

Still when I try to use Safari on certain pages, it says my browser is set to NOT accept cookies.

Clearly this issue with IOS7+iPad2+Safari needs to be fixed!!

Since it is occuring only on certain sites, adn you have a smaple of exactly one to go on, no, there is little or no evidence that it is "Clearly this issue with IOS7+iPad2+Safari needs to be fixed!!".

What exactly is the cookie acceptance setting on the device? Are you blocking third parties? What sites? Is do not track turned on?

It is occuring on any site that requires a cookie, for i.e. logging in, etc. including being able to use my ipad to enter info here. I had to use work computer then my laptop and home to reply to you.

Never had this problem untill immediatele after I did the last upgrade.

Yes, I double checked settings as I searched out similar problems and tried out all suggested ideas to make it work. No none of them worked.

I have attached a couple of screen shots. Yes it only shows the gmail website, but I can't log in to my msn, banking info, etc via ipad anymore.

I came to my conclusion after eliminating all other possible problems, that I could think of or find on the net.

Thank you Cal516 for the idea of using Chrome.

At least I can use my iPad on those websites now.

I have been having trouble logging into sites for just the past couple of days. Yahoo, Verizon Wireless, even Apple communities. I have since day one of owning this iPad 3rd gen set Safari to block third party cookies. Never had any issues. With Safari in iOS 7, I have to set cookies as accept all. This is strange since it was working just fine as of I believe October 15 as I was able to log into Yahoo Groups with no problems.

Did something change in Safari privacy? I upgraded to iOS7 about ten days ago and thought it was a flawless upgrade. I have added no new apps, but there have been a flurry of updates. Safari is the only browser on my machine.
