- From the top menu go to Tools and select Internet Options
- Click on the Privacy tab and click the button Advanced
- If the privacy setting is High, click the button Advanced, tick the box that says Override automatic cookie handling then tick the box that says Always allow session cookies
- If the privacy setting is medium you shouldn’t really be having any problems, but to be sure click the button Advanced. If the Override automatic cookie handling is ticked, make sure that Always allow session cookies is also checked

This means that a web browser should never refuse a cookie unless you’ve explicitly chosen to disable them. For more information see our privacy policy.
