SYMPTOMS
When you use services from Web site &quot;A&quot; by using a frameset (or portal) on Web site &quot;B&quot;, cookies that Web site A tries to set may be blocked at the default medium privacy level.



CAUSE
In the preceding example, Web site A is in the third-party context. The medium privacy setting blocks third-party cookies that do not have a compact policy (a condensed computer-readable privacy statement) or third-party cookies that have a compact policy that specifies that personally identifiable information is used without your implicit consent.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, connect to Web site A directly, or set your privacy level to low or to accept all cookies:
 * 1) In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
 * 2) On the Privacy tab, move the settings slider to Low or Accept All Cookies.
 * 3) Click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
