Stupid firewall/internet settings. Help?
Okay so i can't do some stuff on websites, like allowing apps on twitter and it says something about not allowing cookies...
But I just checked my firewall settings and it says nothing about blocking cookies, and my internet settings are set to allow nearly all cookies.

This is a browser setting.
Depending on what browser you use;
Firefox> Tools> Options> Content: here, check 'block pop ups', then tick 'exceptions'> (enter the URL needed for permission) > 'Allow' > OK out.

IE: Go to the site first> Tools> Internet options> Security> tick the 'Trusted' icon> Sites> Add> ok> out
Note this setting may permit undesirable 'Active scripting' or other server based action: use with caution, especially if you have 'Active content' allowed.

Supplemental blockers, in browsers mainly, may have to be muted, or 'site allowed'.
"NoScript' users will have to "temporarily allow....." from the blue 'S' tray icon.

No need to relax any other cookie settings (which help deter junk ads, pop-ups', malware etc.):
FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy: Check 'Accept Cookies from sites'
& **Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'**
INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced:
here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies'; 'Allow 1st party cookies' & **'Block 3rd Party Cookies'**.
