You'll have to adjust your security settings for the "restricted sites zone" to enable cookies before "privacy manager" will get a chance to do anything with them. Go to Tools, Internet Options, Security, Restricted Sites, Custom Level, Userdata persistence, Enable (last item under "Miscellaneous", just above "Scripting"). Obvious what that meant, wasn't it? ;) And pressing F1 for "help" is just so, um, well, unhelpful.
Update: My testing was not on IE6. ): I don't have it handy but crazyinsomniac informs me that IE5.5 has a separate "cookies" setting such that "Userdata persistence" doesn't affect cookies. So the fixes are still roughly the same, just the details are different (and more obvious) in IE6. (:
Alternately, you can instead add perlmonks to "Trusted sites" and then set a custom security level to disable JavaScript for that security zone.

Adding it to Trusted sites, and removing javascript (and disabling the option that all sites have to start with https:// did the trick for me).

Here you go. Scroll down the page a bit and select the 0.9.9 build for windows. Installation's easy, make sure to look through preferences after for some nice features. Enjoy :)

I have the same problem, but the Javascript part has nothing to do with it. I have not disabled JS, nor placed perlmonks.org in the restricted sites list, and IE6 still won't accept cookies from perlmonks.org, even after setting the privacy setting to supposedly allow these cookies. However, IE6 will accept them from www.perlmonks.org. Sounds like a M$ "feature". | [reply] |
And how about the user settings's "Disable JavaScript on homenodes"? | [reply] |
