Hi,

In the status bar you should see a red circle with a white line
(Do Not Enter symbol) which if double-clicked will reveal the
site who's cookie is being blocked by the browser.. If you've
added playsite.com to your trusted sites, you may not see the
symbol in which case you aren't blocking their cookies.
