No Cookie button

Hi Guys, I am trying to buy something from a online business, and it keeps asking to enable Cookies so this can happen.
I am OK with this but for the life of me there is no button to click to allow me to do this.
So where do I go from here, any suggestions please.

PS. it will lets me fill out all the details, but when I click buy now it tells me to enable cookies, but the click option is not there.

Thanks in advance.

Leon

What Web Browser are you using to access the site? Chrome? Edge? Try a different browser

On Microsoft Edge you will usually get a pop up from the bottom of the screen. I always go customise cookies and only tick strictly necessary rather than the default as sometimes it includes marketing cookies enabled.

Once you have done this you will have to refresh the page otherwise you'll be stuck in an endless loop asking to enable cookies.

Thank you.

You’re welcome. I should mention that it is the web site your are visiting that pre-fills the cookie data it wants from you, not Microsoft Edge. However there are settings in edge to specify what type of cookies you accept or reject, I.e. third party, session only, always or none. The individual site ones are more specific.

I have tried other browsers and always return to the Microsoft offering. I don’t mind Edge except for the fact that, what appears to be random, it sets itself as the default PDF app. I use Acrobat and prefer it for PDF although Acrobat has its own ongoing issue at present displaying yellow pages, not white.
