Dear All,
I've been trying to visit the website http://www.cosis.net/ with Firefox 3.6.4 on Gentoo.
Even though I have an exception set in my preferences, to allow cookies from cosis.net, the site complains bitterly that `Cookies are currently disabled in your browser', and therefore refuses to let me see any of its content.
This is particularly odd because, by this time, cosis.net actually has successfully set a cookie.
When I access the same site with Lynx, www.cosis.net sets a single cookie, and lets me in just fine.
Any ideas, please?
Dan,
Could it be that it is trying to set multiple cookies? Some sites try to set cookies for the site itself and also other domains, like an advertising domain. Perhaps you are accepting the site cookie but inadvertantly blocking another cookie.
You could try one of the Firefox Addons like Firebug or one of the cookie handling ones to see what cookies are being set by the site.
HTH,
Peter.

I've got FF set to ask. If I want to allow a cookie, it's only for the session.
Advertising and second-party cookies I refuse.
