Since upgrading to iOS 8, I can no longer visit websites that allow cookies. In Settings > Safari > Block Cookies, the two bottom options are grayed out and aren't selectable, so I'm stuck on either 'Always block' or 'Allow from Current Website Only'. Is anybody else getting this?
Rather irritating as the London Underground WiFi splash screen requires cookies, so I can't get past that!
iPhone 5, iOS 8
Hi bevan182,
If you are having issues with being unable to change your cookie settings on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Hello, I have had this issue when managing ipad's using apple configurator. I fixed the issue by physically unticking the profiles that are on the device using apple configurator (a bog standard automatic refresh does not work) and after they have been refreshed reapply the profiles by reticking them and presto all fixed 🙂
Hello: has anyone figured this out yet? Both IPhone and iPad have this problem after updating to IOS 8.02.
Also, "Fraudulent website warning" also grayed out.
Restarting and resetting do not fix.
Thanks
I actually had this issue and I fixed it by deleting my MDM profile.
Here's what finally worked: Instead of resetting the iPad by holding down the power button and the home button, going into settings and choosing "reset all settings' fixed the problem.
I'm having the same problem but nothing works!
Check your profiles. In my case, it was the profile from my working place that prevented the other two options to be enabled. Once I deleted the profile, I was able to select always enable.
