Re: Cookies?
Hi Peter, Check in System Preferences Network Advanced Proxies if you have any proxies slected, deselect them, Apply your changes, and try again. You MUST apply the changes before they take effect. In Safari preferences Security - do you have 'Block pop-up windows' selected? Not knowing what websites you are trying to log into but perhaps they use pop-up windows. In Security Preferences check 'Extensions' you might have something there that is stopping you being able to log in.

Re: Cookies?
Peter's problems with the ABC site are a bit similar to my experiences, although I don't log in to it. It just ignores certain things I do with Safari, such as make comments or answer a poll question. If I want to do those things, I use Firefox. I have written to the ABC about it several times, to no avail.

Re: Cookies?
Hi Peter A diffident offering - - - I've had similar problems caused by preference settings in Flash Player, using Safari. Click-to-Flash may have similar needs. The required Flash Player setting was Local Storage Settings to Allow sites to save information on this computer. I was reluctant to do this, but I couldn't access the BankWest website without it. The ABC website also needed it for some of their pages.

Re: cookies
James, additionally to the info about what a cookie is... it is not usual that you (the visitor) has to know anything about the cookie. I interpret their statement as a statement telling you how they will record the Visa details once you enter them. If this is so, then I am not sure why they would do it that way and how safe it is ? Normally the method would be to have an encrypted web-form that sends your personal information directly to the server for processing, without recording your Visa details anywhere (unless using a sophisticated user account system, where you log in, etc) ?
