enabling cookies

I have Windowx XP. I am trying to make a payment
through PayPal, and I get a message that I need
to be able to receive "cookies" in order to access
PayPal. I find an explanation of "cookies" on my
support page, but can't find where I need to go to
enable receiving cookies. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Notes

a.. A first-party Web site is a Web site that you are currently viewing. A
third-party Web site is a Web site other than the one you are currently
viewing. Third-party Web sites usually provide some content on the Web site
you are currently viewing. For example, many sites use advertising from
third-party Web sites and those third-party Web sites may use cookies.
b.. Some Web sites require cookies; therefore, if you select a setting
that does not allow cookies to be saved on your computer, you might not be
able to view certain Web sites.
c.. When you change your privacy settings, the changes might not affect
cookies that are already on your computer. If you want to ensure that all of
the cookies on your computer meet your privacy settings, you should delete
all of the existing cookies on your computer. When you return to Web sites
that previously had saved cookies on your computer, the Web sites that meet
your privacy settings will save cookies on your computer again. The Web
sites that do not meet your privacy settings will not be allowed to save
cookies on your computer, and might not function properly. Some Web sites
store your member name and password or other personally identifiable
information about you in a cookie; therefore, if you delete all cookies, you
might need to re-enter this information the next time you visit the site.
d.. Your privacy settings only affect Web sites in the Internet zone. For
more information about zones, click Related Topics.
e.. You can also specify custom privacy settings for all Web sites in the
Internet zone or for individual Web sites. For more information, click
Related Topics.
f.. To import a file containing custom privacy settings, click Import. To
import a file, it must be located on your computer. You can download files
containing custom privacy settings from privacy organizations and other Web
sites on the Internet.
