When I tried to log into gmail, I was told that I had a problem with cookies. I cleared the cache, etc. and still cannot log in.
We've detected a problem with your cookie settings. When I try to log into gmail, I receive the following message.

I checked and cookies are enabled. I cleared cache. How do I add www.google.com to my list of allowed sites? Will this solve the problem?
Thanks.

What are your cookie settings? For example:
Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
{X} Accept cookies from sites Accept third party cookies: Always Keep until: I close Firefox
Some sites might not work well if "third party" cookies are disabled (I can't recall whether Gmail is one of those).
Did you remove all your existing Google cookies? You can do it from any search page on google.com. Here's how:
While viewing a page on the site, try either:
- right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, google.com should be filled in at the top automatically and you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try logging back into Gmail. Does that help?
