Can't get cookies working in Chrome; all my searches on Google point to Internet Explorer (which has support until '22'). I'm trying to regain cookie access so I can access Yahoo and sites like Amazon without logging in, but I'm stuck on Chrome or any settings on Windows 11. Also, should I enable .NET Framework? When I got this device three weeks ago, it came with minimal paperwork. Thanks and specs are listed below.

I have Chrome open, and I notice the three dots, but when I click on them I don't see the word "more" alone, only "more tools." When I press "more tools," it shows a list that doesn’t include "settings." I can scroll down to reach just "settings," which then opens "Privacy and Security," but clicking that doesn’t reveal "Cookies and Site Data." Instead, I see "Site Settings." When I click on "Site Settings," another section appears with lists like "Recent Activity," "Permission," and "Content." Is there a specific part you should explore next?

I’ve tried this multiple times, listing locations with permissions (including the examples from your message), but it’s not working. A recovery might be an option, but I’m curious if anything was wrong before everything stopped functioning properly about a week ago.

Thank you,
kerberos_20.

three dots means more, honestly i haven’t opened chrome for a while, so this was just copied from the google help page. gear icon is missing in settings except for the rest, cokie settings are fine. links provided with views. updated chrome version, looks a bit different now. clear cookies when closing chrome and block all cookies now, but cookie settings remain.
