Unblock Cookie: Bluemountain.com example

Problem: Bluemountain.com won’t allow you to log in. The error message says you must allow cookies. But you have checked your security settings and everything seems OK.

Solution: This problem typically occurs because spyware prevention programs can block sites it has determines are exhibiting bad behavior. Programs such as the highly recommended “Spybot Search and Destroy” or “Spyware Blaster” may have blocked a particular site from placing cookies on your computer.

In this example, SpybotSD blocks Bluemountain.com from placing cookies on your computer. Bluemountain allows the placement of third party cookies. I have never had a bad experience with Bluemountain, but this practice is questionable.

Steps to Unblock:
First close your internet browsers if they are open.

Click along with your mouse:
Start Menu > Control Panel > Internet Options > Privacy Tab > Sites > Scroll to Blocked cookie…
(in this example scroll to bluemountain.com)

Left click bluemountain.com entry
Either right click the entry and select “Allow”
or…
Click the “Remove” button

Close the “Internet Options” Window
Close the “Control Panel” Window

Open your web browser and log into your website again. In this example bluemountain.com
The site will now be able to place cookies on your computer and allow you to login.
