Stratus Magento 1 Guides - Recommended Cookie Settings
Recommended cookie settings for Magento 1 stores.
In Magento 1 under **System->Configuration->Web **then Session Cookie Management you will see a form like this:
In general, we recommend the following settings –
- Lifetime at least 86400 (1 day)
- Path /
- Cookie domain exactly matches your domain or is .example.com if you are using www in your domain name
- HTTP Only Yes
- Cookie Restriction Mode No
Cookie domain issues
The cookie domain can cause problems such as
- Failed customer logins
- Broken carts (products won’t add)
- Cart empties on page load
- Cart empties at checkout
- Cannot log into the Magento backend/admin
Because of this, you may need to try various cookie domain settings depending on your exact site URL. For example, a sub-domain typically requires the cookie domain to match the sub-domain i.e. mysite.example.com exactly
Cookie Restriction Mode
If this is set to yes, users visiting with cookies disabled will be redirected to the /enable-cookies page your Magento install.
