How to accept cookies

I am travelling and a website I regularly access (as a subscriber) from home
on my laptop computer apparently will not allow me access on that same
paltop unless my web browser (IE7) will accept cookies from the site. Sorry
for what strikes me as a really elementary question, but how can I get IE to
accept cookies from that site? I learned lots about cookies through Help
topics, including how to delete them. But I can't seem to figure out how to
allow them!

In Internet Options click 'Privacy' tab, click 'Sites' button - the rest is
self explanatory.

Good luck

If you haven't disabled them in IE yourself, then look to other software on
your PC that might be blocking them. Do you have any "security" software
such Norton, Symantec, or any other virus scanner or firewall package that
includes a cookie blocker?
