Cookie Pal Requires Advanced Privacy Settings
This article was previously published under Q301390
You may experience either of the following symptoms:
- The Setup program for Cookie Pal version 1.6c from Kookaburra Software states that it has enabled cookie warnings (or prompts) for Internet Explorer, but Internet Explorer 6 may not be configured to prompt for cookies after you install Cookie Pal.
- After you install Internet Explorer 6, Cookie Pal version 1.6c from Kookaburra Software may not prompt you when an unknown Web site attempts to create a cookie on your computer.
The third-party products that are discussed in this article are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft. Microsoft makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding the performance or reliability of these products.
This issue can occur because cookie settings, which are configured on the
Security tab of
Internet Options in Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x (or on the
Advanced tab in Internet Explorer 3.x), are removed when you upgrade to Internet Explorer 6. A new
Privacy tab has been added to the
Internet Options dialog box to configure cookie settings for the Internet zone.
To work around this issue, configure Internet Explorer to prompt for cookies:
- In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
- On the Privacy tab, click Advanced.
- Click to select the Override automatic cookie handling check box.
- Click Prompt for both First-party Cookies and Third-Party Cookies.
- Click OK twice.
NOTE: You can not configure the original Internet Explorer 6 Public Preview (version 6.00.2462.0000) to prompt for cookies. This issue has been addressed in later versions of Internet Explorer 6.
This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
