Introduction to Cookies and Browser Settings
To access this website, it is essential to have cookies enabled in your browser. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device, allowing websites to remember your preferences and provide a more personalized experience. However, some browsers may have cookies disabled by default, or there may be issues with cookies not being set properly. In this case, the Facebook in-app browser has been known to intermittently make requests to websites without cookies that had previously been set. This appears to be a defect in the browser that should be addressed soon. To avoid this problem, it is recommended to continue using the Facebook app but not use the in-app browser.
Resolving the Facebook In-App Browser Issue
To resolve the issue with the Facebook in-app browser, you can follow a few simple steps. First, open the settings menu by clicking the hamburger menu in the top right corner of the Facebook app. Then, choose "App Settings" from the menu and turn on the option "Links Open Externally." This will use the device’s default browser instead of the in-app browser, ensuring that cookies are set properly. By taking this step, you can avoid any issues with cookies not being set and ensure a smooth browsing experience.
Enabling Cookies in Internet Explorer
Enabling cookies in Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9 is a straightforward process. To do this, open the Internet Explorer browser and click on "Tools" > "Internet Options" > "Privacy" > "Advanced." Then, check the box next to "Override automatic cookie handling" and select "Accept" for both First-party Cookies and Third-party Cookies. Finally, click "OK" and then "OK" again to save your changes. This will ensure that cookies are enabled in Internet Explorer, allowing you to access websites that require cookies.
Enabling Cookies in Firefox
Enabling cookies in Firefox is also a simple process. To do this, open the Firefox browser and click on "Tools" > "Options" > "Privacy" > "Use custom settings for history." Then, check the box next to "Accept cookies from sites" and select "Accept third-party cookies." You can also choose to keep cookies until they expire by selecting "Keep until: they expire" from the drop-down menu. Finally, click "OK" to save your changes. This will ensure that cookies are enabled in Firefox, allowing you to access websites that require cookies.
Enabling Cookies in Google Chrome
Enabling cookies in Google Chrome is similar to the process in other browsers. To do this, open the Google Chrome browser and click on "Tools" > "Options" > "Privacy Options" > "Under the Hood" > "Content Settings." Then, check the box next to "Allow local data to be set" and uncheck the box next to "Block third-party cookies from being set." You should also uncheck the box next to "Clear cookies" to ensure that cookies are not deleted when you close the browser. Finally, close all windows to save your changes. This will ensure that cookies are enabled in Google Chrome, allowing you to access websites that require cookies.
Enabling Cookies in Mobile Safari
Enabling cookies in Mobile Safari on an iPhone or iPad is a bit more involved than in other browsers. To do this, go to the Home screen by pressing the Home button or by unlocking your phone or iPad. Then, select the Settings icon and choose Safari from the settings menu. Next, select "accept cookies" from the Safari menu and choose "from visited" from the accept cookies menu. Finally, press the Home button to return to the iPhone home screen and select the Safari icon to return to Safari. Note that before the cookie settings change will take effect, Safari must restart. To restart Safari, press and hold the Home button for around five seconds until the iPhone or iPad display goes blank and the home screen appears. Then, select the Safari icon to return to Safari. This will ensure that cookies are enabled in Mobile Safari, allowing you to access websites that require cookies.
