Each user at least something, but heard about cookies (hereinafter simply “cookies”). This is the data that the browser receives from sites that the user visits. This definition does not explain much to the average user, therefore, in the article, we will examine in detail how to enable cookies in the Yandex browser and what it is all about.
Definition
To begin with, it is worth giving a definition of this term, before telling where to include cookies in Yandex Browser. So, “cookies” are, as mentioned above, data received by the browser when a page of a website is loaded. Upon subsequent access to this resource, the web browser will send data back to the site server. The question arises: "Why is this?". The fact is that the data contains user settings. That is, autocompletion of forms (login and password) is a "merit" of cookies.
Now, knowing the definition, you can go directly to the main question of the article: "How do I enable cookies in the Yandex browser?"
Enable cookies in the browser
The following instructions will imply the existence of an installed Yandex Browser. So, in order to activate cookies, you need to:
- Enter browser settings. To do this, click on the button with three horizontal lines and in the menu that appears, select the item of the same name.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page that opens and click on the "Show advanced settings" link.
- On the new page, you need to go a little lower to the "Personal Information" area. There will be a button "Content Settings" - click on it.
- In the dialog that appears, the first block will be the "Cookies" block. As you can see, there are three modes of operation of this option: "Allow saving local data", "Allow saving data only for the current session" and "Do not allow sites to save data."

Now, knowing how to enable cookies in the Yandex browser, we’ll talk about additional parameters that the user can adjust. As you can see, the browser interface has two buttons “Manage exceptions” and “Show cookie and site data”. To start, click on the first button.
Another dialog box will appear, where there will be one field for entering data and a drop-down list. Here you can enter the site domain and set a parameter for it. In other words, you can add this or that site to exceptions. So, having forbidden before this the collection of data from sites, you can enter the desired domain here and put a mark "Allow" and the collection on it will continue.
