Adjusting
the Cookie Settings in Your Browser
Is This What
Happened?
You
tried to create an account but you got a message saying that you needed
to adjust the cookie settings in your browser before you could edit your
profile.
Here Is How
to Fix This Problem
This
problem is easy to fix - it involves a simple adjustment to one of the
security settings in your browser software related to "cookies."
Make the changes below and then you will be able to continue editing your
profile. If the changes below do not solve your problem, please Contact Us>>
Please note: You do not
need to create a new user name and password after you make the adjustment
below. If you need to log off of the WomenArts Network before you
make the changes in your browser settings, you should be able to log back
in to the WomenArts Network using the "Returning User" log in
boxes and entering the user name and password that you originally selected.
Adjusting
the "Cookie" Settings on Your Internet Browser
The WomenArts Network program needs to store a small
text file called a "cookie" on your computer during your editing
sessions in order to keep track of your entries. The security on
your browser software may be set so that it will not allow cookies to
be stored on your computer. Cookies are often blocked when you set
your security to high levels. If the WomenArts Network
program discovers that it cannot store the cookie file that it needs,
it will stop working and take you back to the WomenArts Network
overview page.
You can leave your security settings on high levels, but you need
to tell your Internet browser program that it is all right to accept cookies
from the WomenArts Network. If you are using Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator, here is what you need to do:
In Internet Explorer 6 on
Windows:
-
Click on "Tools" in the menu bar across the top of the
page, and then select "Internet Options" from the menu that
appears.
-
In the window that pops up, choose the tab labeled 'Privacy', and
in the section labeled 'Web Sites', click the 'Edit' button.
-
In the box labeled "Address of Web Site", enter "www.womenarts.org"
and then click the "Allow" button. This will tell the browser
to always allow cookies from www.womenarts.org, regardless of the browser's
other cookie settings.
In Netscape Navigator
7:
-
Click on "Edit" in the menu bar across the top of the
page, and then select "Preferences"
-
In the category menu on the left click on the arrow next to"Privacy
& Security" and
then click on "Cookies" in the menu that opens up.
-
Click the button labeled "Enable cookies for the originating
web site only", and then click "OK".
