    Here's what Google defines a cookie as:

    A small text file of information that certain Web sites attach to a user's hard drive while the user is browsing the Web site. A Cookie can contain information such as user ID, user preferences, archive shopping cart information, etc.

    To have your computer accept them it depends on your browser.

    Ok depending on your broswer type , aka IE or firefox , you can change your setting in tools , in IE you will find a bar set it to medium , and everything should run ok , i asssume your writeing this post due to some sites not  allowing you in because you cant addecpt cookies.


    Its really not worth posting this in here , the simple fact that you havent tryed to sort this issue out is beond me and tons of people who havent replyied to this thread. Google it next time , and im sure you will find some answers in there.

        well you might not necessarily have to know the incorrect spelling (for which, there could be thousands), but you have to be able to recognise the general patterns and sequences of letters ;)
        mind you there are over 540000 words in the english language alone, so it's quite easy to make a mistake  :)

        well i can assure you my friend, that you have already used over 350 different words on this website alone...
        i'd estimate that i know around 200000... just a guess, considering i've never heard an english word that i can't say or spell, i'd say that i mustn't know too many  :-\

          Thats what is nice about the English language. Take someone for whom it is not their native language, throw in some spelling mistakes, mix liberally with typos, and you have a whole new language. ;D

            Hey Richenstony, The picture in your sig is huge. Not by filesize but by...size.
            Maybe you can cut a bit from the top and bottom.

            Oh by the way, I'm staying neutral. Neither Dark or Light

            Here is a pic of my ship attached below.
             (I made it in Google Sketchup)

            Dude, your ship rules!!!
            But what does it have to do with cookies ???
