I can’t upload photos to a Blogger.com post: why?

Ever since updating to macOS Tahoe 26.2, Blogger refuses to let me upload photos to posts on Blogger.com.

There’s some sort of issue with cookies, I’m told.

Google’s Help pages tell me this:

Tell me to make sure — in Safari’s preferences — that Cookies aren’t blocked for google.com.

Except, of course, there’s no such listing in Privacy, or in the Advanced Settings.

How do I solve this?

Clearing Caches, Cookies and history, doesn’t work. The problem doesn’t happen with Firefox, Chrome or Tor.

As a last thought?

What ever is causing this issue seems to log me out of Facebook, X and Quora: and probably other sites

Just to update, everybody: I spoke to Apple’s Support line, this morning.

Being unable to upload to Blogger.com in Safari was caused by a different problem.

It seemed Safari was logging me out of everything which I switched off my machine.

Then forcing me to log back into everything, when I switched on, and logged into my user account.

The fix was simple: I had to uncheck the ‘Prevent cross-site tracking’ option in Settings.

Quite what the down side is, of this I don’t know.

But the young lady from Apple Support has done me a favour, there.

As an update?

What I *think* is happening is that — each time I quit Safari — it logs me out of everything I’m logged into: which causes the issue with Blogger. com.

I’m not totally sure, though …
