Line 10: : I have a similar problem. When I access http://rosettacode.org, I can't even login due to the cookie issue. I instead need to access https://rosettacode.org (the https protocol). --[[User:Sorawee\|Sorawee]] ([[User talk:Sorawee\|talk]]) 15:41, 13 September 2019 (UTC) :: After a few months without a failure, Rosetta Code is again failing for me (using FireFox under Windows).   I found that when I manually change   (by adding a prefix)   the Rosetta Code (URL) address to use   <big> '''HTTPS://''',</big>   the "cookies" failure goes away.   A sort of a pain in the neck-hole to get around the   ''cookies are disabled''   message.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger\|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger\|talk]]) 00:22, 16 September 2019 (UTC) == A likely explanation == I think the problem we have been seeing here has to do with how Chrome manages cookies, in an environment where many, many sites set cookies: A typical visit to a media site might wind up setting cookies on a hundred different sites (mostly as a consequence of ad delivery). Also, chrome (reasonably) places limits on how many cookies it will store -- both per site limits and total limits. Anyways, this can easily reach the point where chrome will not accept further cookies. And, given privacy concerns, ,there's no good algorithm for deciding which sites should have priority when this happens. There's other things going on, though, where once chrome becomes overstuffed with cookies, an optimal recovery procedure is (to me) non-obvious. What's worked for me, when this happens, is: delete a large number of cookies on various sites, including the rosettacode cookies, and then log in on a freshly visited page. --[[User:Rdm\|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm\|talk]]) 22:58, 11 February 2022 (UTC) = See Also = [[Rosetta_Code:Village_Pump/Logging_In]]
