Cannot login to Facebook because cookies are not enabled

I have changed the privacy setting to accepts all cookies and even added Facebook to the listing of sites to allow all cookies...however, I still get the message that says "Cookies are not enabled on your browser. Please adjust this in your security preferences before continuing"

    I was using Internet Explorer 8, which I had just recently upgraded. I tried to uninstall it and go back to version 7, but that didn't work either.

I had the "Cookies Required" message every time I tried to get into FB using Internet Explorer for a month before I finally fixed it. In the meantime, I worked around it by using FireFox. I also found if I created a new user on my laptop and logged in as that user, I could get right in.

Things I tried. First I tried several variations on the IE -> Tools -> Internet Settings -> Privacy Tab (lots of forums suggest changes to make there). Then, I manually deleted content.ie5, and all my cookies folders. No joy.

Then I read what Gaara said on this forum: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-159094-facebook-cant-open He/she nailed it!! I'll never know how Facebook got into my Domains key in my registry, but I sure am happy to have it gone!!!!!!

I'll paste Gaara's instructions here, slightly edited to give them a G rating:

Press "start"
(if u're on Vista) Type "run" then press enter.
(if u're on XP) just click on "run".
Type "regedit" and press "Enter"
Navigate till you get to Domain in :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains


Right click on Domains, and delete the whole folder.

Close IE. Reopen. Login. Problem solved!

Only problem is, all your other restricted sites will now be gone from the restriction list. If you're using SpyBot, just open SpyBot and re-immunize, and they'll all come back. If you've added them manually and deleted the Domains folder before reading THIS, then u r in for a repeat job. You'll have to add them manually, so if SpyBot didn't create that restriction list, u'll have to re-add them manually from the IE's Tools > Internet Options > Security > Restricted Sites (select it, then click on "Sites" right below it) then add whatever u want to add.

Good luck

I need to know how to enable cookies...it is on firefox...thanks!

Cookies are enabled in Firefox by default - so if you haven't changed the settings, they should still be enabled.

Here's how to check:
(1) In the Firefox browser, go to: Tools > Options > Privacy
(2) On the Privacy tab, In the "History" section, use the pull-down menu and select "Use custom settings"
(3) The boxes for "Accept cookies" and "Accept cookies from third-party sites" should be checked. (If not, then check those boxes, and click on "OK")

How to enable cookies for facebook. when ever I try to log in message comes that cookieds are not enable in your browser

You can configure your privacy settings in Internet Explorer 6 by clicking Internet Options on the Tools menu, and then clicking the Privacy tab.
NOTE: An administrator can customize your privacy settings and remove the Privacy tab from the interface in the Internet Options dialog box. If the Privacy tab is not available, contact your administrator, or see the "Information for Advanced Users and IT Professionals" section.
These settings replace the cookies settings on the Security tab in Internet Explorer 4 and 5 (and the Advanced tab in Internet Explorer 3). The Privacy settings slider has six settings: Block All Cookies, High, Medium High, Medium (default level), Low, and Accept All Cookies.
The following Privacy settings are available with the slider:
Block All Cookies: Cookies from all Web sites will be blocked, and existing cookies on your computer cannot be read by the Web sites that created them. Per-site privacy actions do not override these settings.
High: Blocks cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy or that have a compact privacy policy which specifies that personally identifiable information is used without your explicit consent. Cookies that were already on your computer before you installed Internet Explorer 6 are leashed (restricted so that they can only be read in the first-party context). Per-site privacy actions override these settings.
Medium High: Blocks third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy or that use personally identifiable information without your explicit consent. Blocks first-party cookies that have a compact privacy policy which specifies that personally identifiable information is used without your implicit consent. First-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy and cookies that were already on your computer before you installed Internet Explorer 6 are leashed (restricted so that they can only be read in the first-party context). Per-site privacy actions override these settings.
Medium (default level): Blocks third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy or that have a compact privacy policy which specifies that personally identifiable information is used without your implicit consent. First-party cookies that have a compact privacy policy which specifies that personally identifiable information is used without your implicit consent are downgraded (deleted when you close Internet Explorer). First-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy are leashed (restricted so that they can only be read in the first-party context). Cookies that were already on your computer before you installed Internet Explorer 6 are also leashed. Per-site privacy actions override these settings.
Low: First-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy are leashed (restricted so that they can only be read in the first-party context). Cookies that were already on your computer before you installed Internet Explorer 6 are also leashed. Third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy or that have a compact privacy policy which specifies that personally identifiable information is used without your implicit consent are downgraded (deleted when you close Internet Explorer). Per-site privacy actions override these settings.
Accept All Cookies: All cookies will be saved on your computer, and existing cookies on your computer can be read by the Web sites that created them. Per-site privacy actions do not override these settings.
NOTE: Changing your privacy preferences does not affect the cookie acceptance policy for cookies that have already been set unless you move the slider to Accept All Cookies or Block All Cookies.
Internet Explorer displays a Privacy dialog box the first time that a cookie is restricted based on your privacy preferences. This dialog box appears only one time, unless you clear the Don't show this message again check box. The Privacy dialog box explains that a new status icon (the Privacy Report icon) is added to the status bar when you visit a Web site that does not meet your privacy preferences. You can double-click this icon to view a privacy report that explains how the Web site either has privacy practices that conflict with your preferences or has no published privacy policy. You can also view a privacy report for any site by clicking Privacy Report on the View menu.
NOTE: The Privacy slider works only in the Internet zone. All cookies are automatically accepted from Web sites in both the Local Intranet and Trusted zones, and all cookies are automatically blocked from Web sites in the Restricted zone.

I guess my problem is i just can't login to the right place to

If you're having trouble logging in to your Facebook account, you might assume that you forgot your password. But maybe the Caps Lock key is tripping you up. Facebook passwords are case-sensitive, so "QWERTY7" is not treated the same as "qwerty7". Turn off the Caps Lock, and try again.
Still no joy? It might be a cookies problem. If cookies are disabled in your browser, you'll be returned to the login page even after entering the correct password. If you use Internet Explorermag-glass_10x10.gif, click on Tools / Internet Options / Privacy and change the setting to Medium to allow cookies. Firefox users, go toTools / Options / Privacy and check the "Accept cookies from sites" box.
Restart your browser and try to log in again. It's also possible that cookies are being blocked by some over-zealous firewall, anti-virus or anti-spyware software, so check your settings there if problems persist. If you have heard stories that browser cookies are evil, read Eat Your Cookies for more information.
Okay, if none of that helped, you probably DID forget your password. No problem... just click the handyForgot Password? link under the Facebook Login button. You'll see the "Trouble Accessing Your Account?" screen that's pictured here. Enter your email address (the one you used to sign up for your Facebook account) and Facebook will send you an email describing how to reset your password. You won't actually get your old password back, but you will get to pick a new one and regain access to your account.
So what if you forgot your password AND your email address? Or what if you can't login to that email account for some reason? Some sites have an automated way to regain access to your account by asking you to answer one or more security questions, but unfortunately Facebook doesn't. You can contact Facebook by email at [email protected], explain your situation, and hope for the best. Your Facebook profile does have a security question, so I recommend that you include that question and answer when you grovel. But with millions of members, I would not expect a speedy response. I'd even suggest that you repeat your request if you haven't heard back in a day or two.

Enable cookies

Hi,

Follow these simple steps to enable “Cookies” in Internet Explorer 7 for all web sites.

Open your browser, and select Internet Options from the Tools menu at the top.

Now on the option screen select the Privacy tab.

Make sure the slider is not set to “Block All Cookies”.

The best setting is to set the option to “Medium,” then click Apply and then ok to save the changes.

If you are still having problems getting Internet Explorer 7 to remember your login information, you may need to add your favorite web sites to your list of sites that can use cookies.

To set it for just certain web sites do the following

Open your browser, select Internet Options, from the Tools menu at the top.

From the option screen Click the Privacy tab.

Click on the Sites” button for web sites.

Enter “the web site address that you wish to provide permissions to into the “Address of website:” field.

Next click on the “Allow” button.

Click on the OK to close the “Per Site Privacy Options” window.

Next click on the “Advanced” button.

If “Override automatic cookie handling” is checked, make sure “Accept” is selected for both “First-party cookies” and “Third-party cookies”.

Now click on the OK to close the “Advanced Privacy Options” window.

Finally click on the OK to close the “Internet Options” window.

Now Internet Explorer 7 will remember the permissions set for your favorite websites and accept cookies!

For other browsers you can find here

Good Luck.

Live, Love, Laugh.
