How to I turn cookies on or off?
This site needs cookies to be able to work correctly. If the site is asking you to you turn cookies on, then how do you do that?
You need to enable cookie storage - but because there are so many different browsers - it's hard to give you a definitive step-by-step guide for how to turn them on.
We recommend that you visit All About Cookies. Their 'Manage Cookies' page gives an overview of how to manage cookies, and gives links with help with specific browsers. The links below take you to the appropriate place on their website for several popular browsers.
