Privacy Settings

Win 98SE IE 6. About a week ago I started having a problem accessing certain sites. Did a little looking around and discovered the Privacy Settings in Internet Options had changed. I use the "advanced" settings which overrides automatic cookie handling and radio button is set to accept first party cookies and prompt on third party cookies. Every time I boot up now, this setting is changed to remove the check mark at "Overide Automatic Cookie Handling "and the radio button under first party cookies is changed to "prompt "

I use a program called "Cookie Pal" but have used it for at least two years and am "reasonably sure" it is not causing the problem.
I have downloaded Cookie Pal's latest updates.

I have made no changes in hardware or software in this time frame.

I haven't a clue as to what is causing this and it is driving me nuts (a short drive I admit). Any ideas anyone?

Hi RickyD2

I don't have any experience with cookie pal, but I did read a-Little about it , seams to me it probably came out before IE improved
and added privacy settings , as i see nothing mentioned you cant do with IE, (well almost)
I believe most people do over ride cookie handling . But block third party cookies,
Ive only seen one site that didn't work correctly with this setting.
so try blocking third party cookies and see if then cookie pal changes things back, also after making any changes don't use that X button , I only mention this because its a common thing to do ,Ive even done it.

If you still have problems I would with all IE's closed uninstall cookie pal restart to be safe and install again( or not)
