Have an issue doing online purchasing lately. When I try to buy something by adding to shopping basket it prompts me to ' please enable cookies in your web browser to continue'. I've gone into Internet Options-> Advanced-> and looked for a line for 'Always Accept cookies' but that option does not appear to be available to me. In fact there seems to be no mention of cookies at all. Is it there under a different guise?
Any help appreciated. Next step is down to the computer shop as Mrs Majee is losing patience.
