How to Allow Cookies using Safari for a Mac
1. In Sarari, from the Safari menu select Preferences...
2. Click on the Security icon
3. There are two Accept cookies options: Always or Only from sites you navigate to. Select the radio button for either one to be compatible with the Turnitin cookie requirement.
Note: Integration users will have to select "Always" from the "Accept cookies" options. The reason for this is that Safari does not have an exceptions option. The "Only from sites you navigate to" option does not work when accessing Turnitin through an integration since the user is not directly navigating to the Turnitin site.
