Browser doesnt save Cookies anymore

[ElderKingpin]

So, im on Chrome and just today. A few things happened

1. I was disconnected from my wireless after i turned on my laptop (which was on standby) and i had to use my WEP to re-connect (i usually dont have to, it usually just logs on by itself) So i got my internet running again and...

2. My browser (Chrome) is no longer saving cookies. I cant use gmail since i lose my signed-in status due to cookies no longer being saved. And i get logged out of thehelper if i change web pages.

Trouble Shooting:

I installed the newest version of Chrome (Chrome doesnt update by itself so i had to go to www.google.com/chrome and download whatever version was up.

I also went to "Tools". "Options". "Under the Hood" and set the cookies to enable. That didnt work. so i just set everything to default. Still doesnt work.

Any help?

Try another browser and see if it works. If so, then it's something with Chrome, perhaps theres an option to clear all data? Not sure if it exists, I don't run chrome.

Nvm.

Firefox doesnt save cookies either

Does it let you log in to places and stuff like that, but deletes the cookies when you restart?

 

[ElderKingpin]

kinda. I can log on to thehelper, then i log off if i change pages.

for google i cant log in at all

and for another forum, i cant log in at all

I was having the same problem

so i installed firefox and now its working

im using firefox right now, but it isnt working

When i log onto gmail. it goes into an endless redirect that goes back to the same redirect page.

Try reinstalling, something might have happened with both the browsers. While it sounds like it wouldn't happen, it doesn't take long to reinstall, so it can't hurt to try.

still doesnt work >.>

Perhaps it's something to do with your windows temporary files folder ( TEMP Folder ). Did you change any settings, or perhaps install anything new?

i dont think its just me. none of the computers that are connected to my house's can save cookies

Try Power Restoring your router to the default settings.

 

[ElderKingpin]

how? >.<

i dont think its just me. none of the computers that are connected to my house's can save cookies

In that case, it's definitely something to do with the router.

um. my dad said we dont need cookies. But we do ._.

um. my dad said we dont need cookies. But we do ._.

...Did you explain what you need them for?

 

[Tru_Power22]

What kind of router do you have?

 

[ElderKingpin]

...Did you explain what you need them for?

My dad isnt stupid he has several degrees in computer and he sets up the internet for his clients. Im not sure why he doesnt think cookies are important >.>

Btw. im using a linksys router. I asked my dad why our cookies didnt work, and he said he changed the ID.

 

[DDRtists]

If he has degrees in computer courses, he should know you've pretty much crippled your internet... :nuts:

 

[ElderKingpin]

this is wierd. im pretty sure cookies are the files your computer saves, and i keep logging off which implies my cookies are not saving. however.

CCleaner registered and cleared out 1.6GBs of cookies and other stuff (most of it was cookies)
Saving a password is considered a cookie (it should be) and firefox saves my username and password. i just log off. even with "Remember me" on.
