Just tried to log-in to my usual bank, but I've had a message saying cookies are blocked.
I used to be able to unblock on Lion - but can't seem to find an option on the new Maverick.
Can someone tell me how to do this please.
Thanks
iMac, iOS 5
Safari - Preferences - Privacy : what do you have set there ?.
Cookies and other website data - remove all website data - I haven't changed or touched this.
Block cookies from other website data - From third parties and advrtisers
Limited website access to location services - Prompt for each website one time only
Web tracking - Ask websites not to track me
I have never had a problem before with on-lin security and cookies, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
OK, your settings are only blocking from other websites & advertisers, so that shouldn't be a problem. I would choose ' Details' from the Privacy pane & remove data for your bank, then quit Safari & test again.If you still get the message, temporarily change the 'block cookies...' setting to Never & try once more.
If you still have problems even with nothing blocked - test in a Guest account on your computer.
Some websites get confused after new browser & OS versions are introduced & produce spurious messages that don't really relate to cookie blocking. You might test with another browser, say Firefox, & see if that lets you carry on.
Thanks - I have tried on Firefox - and I can open and login with no problem?
BUT
It looks like the bank may have changed something / increased security. This is the message that I get.
The security page I now have on since updating to Maverick doesn't look like this - there is no Accept Cookie button??
That screenshot is from earlier safari versions - I forget exactly when it was changed, but Safari 5.1.10 doesn't look like that.
If the bank are saying that is what your settings should be, then you are already doing it : accept cookies from : only sites you visit is the same as blocking cookies from third parties & advertisers.
Unless Safari as a Guest worked, or you've got some add-ons or security software that doesn't affect Firefox, it would seem to be an issue that the bank will need to deal with.
Thanks - as long as I've not done anything to stop it, I'll just have to use Firefox to logon ;o(
Thanks for your trouble and assistance.
how do i accept cookies on maverick?
