How to deal with Cookies-related problems

1. Check the System Date on Your Computer



Please check your system date. The site sets a cookie, which gives features and content access. This cookie is coded with an expiration date. If the system date is after this expiration date, the cookie instantly expires and you are automatically signed out as soon as you sign in.

If the system date is incorrectly set, Internet Explorer (we assume that you are using IE) will loose cookies information. Therefore, if the system date is set to a date in the past or future, please change it to the current date.

To check your date/time, check the bottom right hand cornet of the taskbar, or do the following:
  • Go to the "Start" menu of your computer.
  • Select "Control Panel".
  • Open the "Date/Time" field.
  • Verify the date is correct (date and year).
  • Correct date, if needed.
  • Click "Apply".

2. Enable Cookies



To enable cookies, follow the instructions below for the browser version you are using.

Mozilla Firefox (1.0 final release and earlier)
  • Go to the "Tools" menu.
  • Select "Options".
  • Select the "Privacy" icon in the left panel.
  • Check the box corresponding to "Allow sites to set cookies".
  • Click "OK" to save changes.

  • Click "OK".

  • Go to the "Edit" menu and select "Preferences."
  • Expand the "Privacy & Security" menu and click on "Cookies."
  • Click to select "Enable all cookies" or "Enable cookies for the originating web site only." If there is a check in the box next to "Warn me before storing a cookie", remove it to prevent being prompted every time a cookie needs to be written.

6. Google Web Accelerator



Google Web Accelerator is known to cause a few problems with cookies. If you have it installed try temporarily turning it off.




7. Proxy Server Problems



You may be accessing the site via a "proxy server" that is deleting cookies automatically. If you are using a proxy server, you should contact your network administrator to determine whether your proxy server is the source of the trouble.

You may be able to add the site to an exclude list so that the proxy server is not used when connecting to our site, check your browsers settings.




8. Reboot Your Computer



When did you last reboot your computer? Many seemingly dire problems can be fixed by simply rebooting your computer - particularly if you don't regularly switch off your computer. If the problem reappears after you have rebooted you will need to investigate further.
