Facebook app users may be experiencing issues with cookies not being properly stored when using the in-app browser. This is due to a known bug in the browser, which Facebook is working to resolve.

**The easiest solution is to open links outside of the Facebook app, using your device’s default browser.** To do this:

1. Open the Facebook app’s settings menu (hamburger icon).
2. Select “App Settings”.
3. Enable “Links Open Externally”.

**For users experiencing this issue on other browsers, here’s how to enable cookies:**

* **Internet Explorer 7, 8 & 9:** Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Advanced. Check “Override automatic cookie handling” and select “Accept” for both First-party and Third-party Cookies.
* **Firefox:** Tools > Options > Privacy > Use custom settings for history. Check “Accept cookies from sites” and “Accept third-party cookies”. Select “Keep until: they expire”.
* **Google Chrome:** Tools > Options > Privacy Options > Under the Hood > Content Settings. Check “Allow local data to be set”, uncheck “Block third-party cookies from being set” and “Clear cookies”.
* **Mobile Safari (iPhone, iPad):** Settings > Safari > “accept cookies” > “from visited”. Restart Safari for the settings to take effect.

**Note:** Blocking cookies may limit access to certain features, content, or personalized experiences. For more information, refer to the [Cookie Policy link].
