Setting cookies in Internet Explorer?

[EvertonFC]

Hello

When I try to log on to my Hotmail account (I type in my user name and password), I am redirected back to my log in page.

Does this sound like a cookie issue and, if so, would anyone know how I may resolve it.

Many thanks.

l have had the same problem, to sort this out you need to tell IE that it is a trused internet site:

1) Goto - Tools - Internet Options - Security (click trusted sites and add hotmail to the list including .com, .uk etc) also if u want to custom your security you can go to custom level.

2) In Internet Options - Privacy (you can either move the level up or down, l would personally recomment just adding hotmail as the site you want to allow cookies on, also click on advanced to make sure override automatic cookie handling is turned off) The auto cookie handling can be difficult at times l have had machines that do need it turned on to work but 90% + dont need it switched on!

That should hopefully solve your problem! If it doesnt let me know!

Thanks,

AnDy

Hello Nightrax

Thanks for your post.

I did as you suggested, but it didn't make any difference: still back to the log-on screen. (It doesn't happen if I log-on to a Yahoo! address, so it looks Hotmail specific).

Thanks again.
