Cookie Problem

There is one website http://www.carolinahome.com that gives me the following message:
"Cookies Blocked

This site uses cookies to maintain your search criteria from page to page. A cookie is a simple text file that allows our website to store information on your PC's hard disk and retrieve it from your hard disk as you move from page to page on our site.

Because cookies have been blocked on your browser, our search engine will not return the results you would expect.

I've gone into Internet Options/Privacy/Edit and added this site to allow cookies. Yet I still get this message. Not sure what to do to see this site.

Even though you may have added the site to the list allowed to store cookies, there may still be an entry that is set to deny the cookie. Or there could be a second cookie entry from that site that may have been denied at sometime.

(I've noticed that when I check mail at excite, 'excite.com' and 'mail21.excite.com' store cookies. so there might be more than one cookie)

What browser are you using?

If your using Internet Explorer:

Try clearing your Temporary Internet Files

If this does not solve your problems then you may need to adjust your Cookie Management settings.......

If your using I.E. check the privacy tab in tools, internet options, and see what is selected.

I'm using IE. In Internet Options/Privacy, my settings are on Accept All Cookies.

You wouldn't be able to post here if you weren't accepting cookies (from this site)...

Have you tried Tweaker's suggestion?

Finally got it. Had to clear my internet temp files (there weren't that many) and change my cookies management to Accept All.

Thanks for your help!
