about disabling cookies

[Pinkly Smooth]

Hello to you all. So I recently tried to send a message from a website, and the message could not go through. I got this notification:
Forbidden (403)


CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.


You are seeing this message because this site requires a CSRF cookie when submitting forms. This cookie is required for security reasons, to ensure that your browser is not being hijacked by third parties.


If you have configured your browser to disable cookies, please re-enable them, at least for this site, or for “same-origin” requests.

I looked online and was told to go to the preferences of safari, and then press 'privacy' and press unblock the cookies. But I did that, and the cookies and website data are not blocked yet I cannot send the message. Underneath there is a 'manage website data.'

The cookies and website data and not blocked yet I cannot send the message. Do I press 'website tracking - prevent cross site tracking'?

How can I send the message? What must I do? Many thanks.

First, copy and paste the message you are sending into TextEdit or something so you don't have to re-type it.

Quitting and restarting Safari might help.

If not, try clearing the browser cache:

Clear cookies in Safari on Mac

In Safari on your Mac, clear cookies and website data for some or all websites.

support.apple.com

...and refreshing the page, before trying again.

This is a legitimate use of cookies to ensure that the form you are submitting really comes from the site you are submitting it too and hasn't been intercepted. It's not tracking you between sites and "Prevent cross-site tracking" shouldn't block it, but "Block all cookies" might (and if it was on the first time you tried it might have thrown things out of sync - hence the clear cache and refresh).

Or it could be a bug on the website you are using.

Luggage offers good selections, but if you try them and things STILL aren't working, I suggest you try accessing that site with OTHER browsers.

Suggestions:
Orion
Brave
Waterfox
iCab
DuckDuckGo (they have their own browser now)
