The Enable Cookies option allows you to specify whether or not the FusionBot spider, when crawling your site, should accept cookies when your server attempts to set them. By default, the FusionBot crawler DOES NOT accept cookies from a site when crawling its pages.

However, to successfully index sites that require the setting of cookies for any reason, including the establishment of a unique session or the maintenance of session state during crawling, the FusionBot crawler MUST accept cookies. In this scenario, you can set the value of the "Enable Cookies Support" option to "YES" by clicking the "Spider" tab, 'index options' option within your account.

Please note, this option only applies to your main site subscribed. If you have also built a mini-portal and wish for FusionBot to accept cookies when crawling your mini-portal entries, please reference the "COOKIES" variable for entering your mini-portal sites at the following FAQ.

In addition, for those sites that use cookies to maintain a unique session ID within each page's URL during a user's visit, the following FAQ may be a valuable reference.
