If you want to keep your default settings and approve sites individually, do
this.

Make sure your status bar is showing. (View>>Status Bar). When you get the
error message, you should see an eye with a red "no" sign over it (like the
no smoking signs). Double click that icon and it will show you what
cookies, etc, that IE is blocking. You can click on any of the blocked
items and "allow all cookies from this domain" (or text similar to that...
can't remember the exact wording).

So, if there's not too many sites that are using cookies to track the
sessions, etc (as in the case you posted), I'd leave the default blocking on
and individually accept cookies on a per-site basis, as needed.
