I am on 2.42 already. I didn't fix anything in the menu but
everything under Tools -> Cookie Manager works for me. There also
weren't any fixes in the last months in this component. Do you see
any errors in the Error Console when you try to change cookie
settings using the menu?
No.
I'm on 2.39, but the behavior has been consistent for over a year: I go
to a site, I want to change the cookie policy for that site, so I make a
selection from the Tools | Cookie Manager menu, and nothing happens. No
error message, no noise, no complaint of any kind; SM simply ignores the
selection and continues as before with the previous selection.
The only way around it is to go into the chrome version of the Cookie
Manager and change the policy there, or else tell SM to forget about
this domain (which is an unnecessarily cumbersome and counterintuitive
process, BTW). Having done that, I can go to the page in question and
set a new policy from the menu (SM will honor a new setting only if
there is no old setting).
FWIW, I did find a solution to the USAToday site: Tell SM to forget the
cookie policy for usatoday.com, allowing it to revert to my default
policy (first-party session cookies only), whereupon the site set some
20 cookies and started playing the videos. I guess the other people who
could play them had more lenient cookie policies, and the one who
couldn't was also blocking cookies.
