To enable cookies for logging in (specifically using Internet Explorer), follow these steps:
-
Click the Tools icon (the gear icon) typically located in the upper-right corner of your browser window.
-
Select Internet Options from the dropdown menu.
-
In the Internet Options window, click the Privacy tab.
-
Under the Settings section, you'll see a slider. Move the slider to adjust your cookie preferences:
-
To Allow All Cookies: Move the slider to the bottom of the scale. This setting is the least restrictive and allows all websites to store cookies on your computer.
-
To Block All Cookies: Move the slider to the top of the scale. This setting prevents all websites from storing cookies on your computer, which may break login functionality on many sites. Note: This option isn't recommended as it will likely prevent you from logging in to most websites.
-
Recommended Setting: Generally, allowing some cookies is best. Move the slider to a setting that allows some cookies while blocking others. A medium setting is often the best balance.

Click OK to save your changes.
After making these changes, close and restart your browser for the new settings to take effect. Try logging in to the website again. If you still have issues, you may need to adjust other browser settings or clear your existing cookies.
Important Considerations:
- These instructions are specifically for Internet Explorer. The process may vary slightly for other browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
- Enabling all cookies can pose privacy risks, as websites can track your browsing activity more easily. Consider using a more balanced approach.
- If a specific website is still not allowing you to log in after enabling cookies, check if that website is in your "Blocked Sites" list within Internet Explorer's Privacy settings.
