When you use services from Web site "A" by using a frameset (or portal) on Web site "B", cookies that Web site A tries to set may be blocked at the default medium privacy level.

In the preceding example, Web site A is in the third-party context. The medium privacy setting blocks third-party cookies that do not have a compact policy (a condensed computer-readable privacy statement) or third-party cookies that have a compact policy that specifies that personally identifiable information is used without your implicit consent.

To work around this behavior, connect to Web site A directly, or set your privacy level to low or to accept all cookies:

1.	In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
2.	On the Privacy tab, move the settings slider to Low or Accept All Cookies.
3.	Click OK.

This behavior is by design.
