Evernote cookie

I'm on a new laptop at a client's site. Firefox works as a charm, thanks to Firefox Sync. Now I also need Evernote, since I don't have OneNote here. (Two OneNotes is not practical anyway, as the name of the tool implies...)

But the webclipper of Evernote doesn't work. Installation is fine, try to clip, it keeps asking for my password.

After some more minor annoyances about the clipper and the Windows client, I looked around and came across SpringPad. A subject for another blog. However, the bookmarklet for SpringPad did not work either, same symptom. In SpringPad you can link your Google account and then log in with that, also in the clipper bookmarklet. So I tried that. And Google was the first to be so clever to tell me that I should enable cookies.

It turns out that you need to have third-party cookies enabled, at least until you shutdown the browser.

Would that have been the cure for the Evernote clipper as well? Click... o, yeah!

So: If you want to use the Evernote clipper, enable 'cookies from other websites'.

By the way: if you think about it, it's logical. You're on myrecipe.com, want to clip it, and for that you need a cookie from Evernote.com, which is in this case 'another website'.
