there were two opportunities wherein webpages that require cookies made me impossible to access them. it was a little frustrating since i did what i could to adjust our pc and my husband, who is a techie, said that the cookies is enabled and that the sites i am accessing are just there getting email addresses and that there is really no link. i don't know who to believe. a little frustrating because those two links i wasn't able to access are online jobs.

Cookies a enabled by default in IE, which sites were you having problems with? It might be some problem with flash or any other browser related problem.
check with that, if not then just go to tools settings, internet options there tick mark on enable cookies, that might help you.
else you can also try the firefox mozilla you will love that browser.

I think you should enable that since many site are dependent on that to be able to function normally. Yahoo is very dependent on that if you disable that you would not be able to login normally in their site. But after browsing you can delete them right away so that it would not add to your disk space if you want it.

cookies are enabled by default and are needed by many websites especially the one's which has login feature to keep track of the login session, but this cookies expire after sometime.. while you are logged in and if cookies expire you will be asked to re-login again..

Hello Ritchelle,
I think the cookies are enabled by default in browsers. If your husband is a techie I would believe that he is right :)
