Cookies?
2 Answers
Hello, I want to buy something on-line but I am unable to because the site tells me that I need to do something with cookies. I know exactly NOTHING about cookies, but have found something to do with them in the "advanced part of privacy settings" on my computer after a long search! Please can you tell me what I need to do next, and how to put it back afterwards. Many thanks in advance.
