Are you having trouble enabling cookies on your iPhone? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Cookies are small pieces of data that websites store on your device to remember certain information about you. Enabling cookies can enhance your browsing experience and allow websites to function properly. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to enable cookies on your iPhone in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Open the Settings App
To begin, locate and open the Settings app on your iPhone. It’s represented by a gear icon and is usually found on your home screen.
Step 2: Scroll Down and Tap Safari
Once you’re in the Settings app, scroll down until you find the Safari option. Tap on it to access the Safari settings.
Step 3: Tap Privacy & Security
In the Safari settings menu, look for the “Privacy & Security” option. This is where you can control various privacy and security settings for your browsing experience. Tap on it to proceed.
Step 4: Enable Cookies
Within the “Privacy & Security” section, locate the “Block All Cookies” option. By default, this option is enabled to provide a higher level of privacy. However, if you want to enable cookies, tap on it to disable this setting.
Note: Disabling “Block All Cookies” does not mean that all cookies are automatically enabled. It simply allows websites to request permission to store cookies on your device.
Step 5: Choose Your Preferred Cookie Setting
After disabling the “Block All Cookies” option, you’ll see three cookie options:
- Always Allow: This setting allows all websites to store cookies on your device without asking for permission.
- Allow from Websites I Visit: With this option, websites you visit regularly can store cookies, while others will need to request permission.
- Disallow: This setting blocks all websites from storing cookies on your device.
Select the option that best suits your needs. For most users, “Allow from Websites I Visit” is a good balance between privacy and convenience. Tap on your preferred option to enable it.
Step 6: Return to Safari
Once you’ve chosen your preferred cookie setting, tap the back arrow in the top-left corner of the screen to return to the main Safari settings menu.
Step 7: Restart Safari
To ensure that the changes take effect, it’s a good idea to completely close and restart Safari. Double-press the home button (or swipe up from the bottom on newer iPhones) to access the app switcher.
Find Safari and swipe it up or off the screen to close it. Then, relaunch Safari by tapping its icon on your home screen.
You’re Done!
