Are cookies dangerous?

No, they are not. Cookies can't execute programs, nor can they be used to spy on you. Cookies are nothing more than a tiny record consisting of a domain that set the cookie, an expiration date and the name/value pair. Cookies are highly restricted by the browser and can't be made to compromise your device, they are simply text and nothing more.

How do I manage cookies in my browser?

Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari all allow some level of cookie verification.
They have menu options that allow you to accept all, some, or none of your incoming cookies.

Browser	Provider	Cookie settings
Chrome	Google	Copy & paste into browser: chrome://settings/content/cookies ⦿ Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended) or: ⋮ (Menu) > Settings > Advanced ▼ > Privacy and security > Content Settings ... ► Cookies ►
Safari	Apple	Preferences... (⌘) > Privacy > Cookies and website data
Firefox	Mozilla	Copy & paste into browser: about:preferences#privacy ⦿ Accept cookies and site data from websites (recommended) or: ☰ (Menu) > Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data >

My cookies are enabled, why is it not working?

One possibility is that you may be running software that interferes with cookie usage. There are many filtering and blocking software packages available for internet users, and many of them also filter cookies. If you are running software like this, your computer may not receive or send cookies. This will cause websites you visit to assume you are not accepting cookies.

Another possibility is that your device may be behind a firewall or proxy server that prevents cookie transmission. This is most likely in a corporate environment. So, regardless of how your browser is set, cookies won't be sent or received by your browser. Since the cookies aren't making it through to your browser, the website will assume you personally aren't accepting them.
