Cookie Problems?

If you're getting errors on the web-site such as:

• Your shopping cart is always empty, no matter what you seem to add, or;
• You log into PropertyInvesting.com and within moments you get logged out...

It's likely that the issue lies with your Cookie Settings

What are Cookies?

They're a delicious baked treat of course!

But in computer terms, Cookies are little messages which web-sites are able to place on your computer. They serve a variety of purposes, but on most sites (including PropertyInvesting.com) they serve as an electronic 'sticky-note', helping your computer to remember small pieces of information.

PropertyInvesting.com uses cookies to help your computer to remember it's logged in to our web-site, or to remember what you're buying when you're mid-way through a purchase on our online shop.

Some web-sites use them to track what you do on the internet for market research purposes. Because a lot of people like to keep this information private, sometimes they increase their cookie security settings to block all cookies.

The unfortunate by-product of this is that 'nice' cookies (such as PropertyInvesting.com's) aren't able to get through - and that's when errors can start popping up.

So how do I allow PropertyInvesting.com to place a cookie on my computer?

Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape allow you to block certain types of Cookies from being placed on your computer, and allow other sorts of cookies.

• For Internet Explorer:
  • Click on the Tools menu option up the top of the screen, then
  • Select the Internet Options from this menu.
  • Click on the Privacy tab.
  • You'll see a slider which has a whole series of options. Move this down until it says Medium or Low.
  • Click OK.
    
• For Netscape and other Mozilla-based browsers:
  • Click on the Edit menu option up the top of the screen, then
  • Select the Preferences choice from this menu.
  • Double-click on the Privacy & Security heading on the list on the left side of this window.
  • Select the Cookies sub-heading.
  • Select click on the little circle on the left of the option which says Enable cookies based on privacy settings. It should now have a black dot inside it.
  • Then click the View option on the right hand side of this text.
  • Choose Medium
  • Then press OK
  • Then OK again

This should solve the problem.
