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

[JanW]

Just for kicks, I enabled as just Allow for Session to see what would 
happen. It worked.
It's hard to know what the 3rd party arrangements are when you do it 
'per site'. I have my general options set to NOT accept 3rd party.

Be sure you don't just refresh the screen and that you're asking for
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/  again.

Firefox 29 give me a shield block indicator and a warning that the 
site doesn't provide identity info.
