Users trying to check geelong weather on this site will find content blocked if cookies are disabled; the site requires cookies to be enabled in the browser. The Facebook in-app browser can intermittently make requests without previously set cookies, which affects access. Simple browser and app-setting steps listed below explain how to restore access.
Geelong Weather access steps
To view geelong weather material on the website, users must enable cookies in their browser. If you open site links inside the Facebook app, there is a known issue where the in-app browser intermittently makes requests without cookies that had previously been set. The guidance in the site notice recommends continuing to use the Facebook app but opening links externally by changing the app’s setting: open the settings menu, choose App Settings, then turn on “Links Open Externally” to force the device’s default browser to handle links.
Browser-specific instructions
Follow these steps for each browser to allow cookies and restore access to geelong weather pages:
- Internet Explorer 7–9: Open the browser, go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Advanced, check “Override automatic cookie handling, ” set First-party and Third-party Cookies to “Accept, ” then click OK twice.
- Firefox: Open Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Privacy > Use custom settings for history, check “Accept cookies from sites” and “Accept third party cookies, ” set “Keep until” to “they expire, ” then click OK.
- Google Chrome: Open Chrome, go to Tools > Options > Privacy Options > Under the Hood > Content Settings, check “Allow local data to be set, ” uncheck “Block third-party cookies from being set, ” uncheck any automatic cookie clearing options, then close all windows.
- Mobile Safari (iPhone, iPad): From the Home screen open Settings, choose Safari, select “accept cookies, ” pick “from visited, ” then restart Safari by returning to the Home screen and relaunching the Safari icon to apply changes.
What’s next
Users looking for geelong weather should enable cookies or open links externally from the Facebook app to maintain access. The in-app browser defect is described as something that “should be addressed soon, ” so if you prefer the Facebook app, keep links set to open externally until the issue is fixed. For now, enabling cookies in your browser or forcing links to your device’s default browser will restore access to site content.
