    Can you give examples on why exactly I need to have check marked :

    Cookies
    "Override automatic cookie handling" (check marked)

    First-Party Cookies
    .Accept

    Third-Party cookies
    .Block

    and check marked "Always allow session cookies"


    Under: Tools/Internet Options/Privacy/Advanced


    I don't have it that way now, but I think some time ago, I had some trouble online, that I had to check mark 'Always allow session cookies' and stuff like that. But I can't remember why I had to.

    Thank you.

    Hello,
    You don't have to have cookies enabled this or that way. Just be aware that some sites will not work properly - like shopping carts, mail etc.

    hmmm...

    shopping carts, yeah...

    I think is coming back to me...

    So, when I have that problem, I should check mark "always allow session cookies"?

    Or, should I just now check mark that, to avoid those problems? I mean, is it a good thing to have 'session cookies' enabled?

    Thank you.

    Ok.

    I just don't want to have that problem again that I had once, I don't remember exactly what it was, but I think it had to do with needing to check mark "always allow session cookies".

    Thank you.
