How to enable or disable cookies for Internet Explorer

This kind should always be enabled.

We all enjoy browsing the Internet for hours on end, but we all also hate being tracked by websites or targeted for advertising based on our viewing. You can disable cookies, small pieces of information that websites install on your browser for many purposes, easily. Keep in mind, however, that cookies are often used benevolently to enhance your browsing experience, and that blocking them indiscriminately may make many parts of a website unavailable to you. If you've blocked them and wish to undo this action, that's easy too.

Instructions

1. Open up your Internet Explorer browser.

2. Click Tools and select Internet Options.

3. Click the Privacy tab. Under Settings use the slider or check boxes to enable or disable cookies. (The exact mechanism will differ according to your version of IE.)

4. Click "OK" to save and apply your preferences changes.

Tips & Warnings
