Imagine my annoyance to find that I need to relax my IE 7 cookie security in order to log into Windows Live Spaces.  

 

IE7 Privacy was: High

 

- Blocks all cookies from websites that do not have a compact privacy policy

- Blocks cookies that save information that can be used to contact you without your explicit consent

 

Okay - I don't know what a compact privacy policy is... But whatever. The second item isn't really clear to me either. But again, whatever. I don't want people to contact me without my consent so don't allow it. But this doesn't work with Windows Live Spaces. You can't log in unless you relax the restrictions on cookies.

 

IE Private now: Medium

 

- Blocks third-party cookies that do not have a compact privacy policy

- Blocks third-party cookies that save information that can be used to contact you without your explicit consent

- Blocks first-party cookies that save information that can be used to contact you without your implicit consent

 

So now I can log into Windows Live Spaces. Why can't I log in with cookie security set to High? Anyone?
