SYMPTOMS
When you use services from Web site "A" by using a frameset (or portal) on Web site "B", 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:
- In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
- On the Privacy tab, move the settings slider to Low or Accept All Cookies.
- Click OK.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
