CODE Sports warns Ian Baker Finch readers on cookies

CODE Sports is warning Ian Baker Finch readers that blocking any or all cookies may prevent access to certain features, content or personalization. The site also says the simplest way around the Facebook in-app browser problem is to use the device’s default browser.

Facebook in-app browser

The notice says Facebook’s in-app browser can intermittently make requests to websites without cookies that had previously been set. For readers trying to use CODE Sports through that browser, the site’s message points them back to browser settings or to opening links externally.

That warning is paired with practical instructions for Internet Explorer 7, 8 and 9, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Mobile Safari on iPhone and iPad. The page is not describing a one-time outage; it is telling readers how to restore site behavior when browser settings are the obstacle.

CODE Sports Cookie Policy

The page sits on CODE Sports as a cookie notice rather than a news story, but the practical effect is direct: if cookies are blocked, some site functions may not load as expected. The notice also makes clear that the browser-specific steps are there for readers who want to keep using the site with cookies enabled.

For anyone hitting the warning, the immediate next step is to adjust the browser settings named on the page or switch out of Facebook’s in-app browser and use the device’s default browser instead. The notice does not spell out which specific features are affected, so the safest read is that any cookie-dependent function may be part of the problem.
