[LINK] The Australian tells me cookies are NOT enabled, but cookies ARE enabled

When I try to view a story at theaustralian.com.au, I get taken to a
page telling me that cookies are not enabled. However, cookies ARE
enabled for the site.

I am using Firefox and have allowed cookies for that site specifically.

Thing is, the site used to work fine with just this setup. Have they
become more picky? In particular, do they now perhaps require
third-party cookies to be enabled? Their cookie-enabling instructions do
say to enable third party cookies, but they also say to enable all
cookies everywhere, which is unnecessarily broad.

I've emailed them to ask, but if they need third party cookies I just
won't be reading the Australian online any more. I can see no legitimate
reason to *require* third-party cookies.

Regards, K.
