Anyone else having trouble reaching Simpson ltd.? Haven't been able to get them online since Saturday night.

I was able to access their website earlier today.

On my computer it says web address has changed. I talked to the support staff at Simpson, and evidently I need to "accept cookies" which I don't know how to do. The info I could find said go to the website address and click on "accept cookies" but I don't see the way to do it.

Maybe they're planning on sending you baked goods?

k98mike · 07-16-2019, 09:18 PM

Good one!

I was able to access the site tonight, 9:43pm. They have a special on French opera glasses.

And don't expect no cookies. From the looks of the people in their group photo, they don't share cookies with no one...

You'll find an option for accepting cookies in your browser's privacy settings. They're little chunks of data a site will send and store on your computer, so that you computer/OS is "remembered" the next time you visit. They're used in the "shopping cart" feature, viewing preferences you've chosen for the site, etc.

Also, put in Simpson LTD into google, then follow that link

They did change their web site a few months ago

Sometimes, the "F5" function key can reload a browser. This sometimes helps because it also flushes the cache where the browser temporarily stores things it previously downloaded for reuse.

The contents of a page from a complex website often come from a number of different servers concurrently. If the pointers are mixed because you have older copies of elements in the cache, it can interfere with proper operation.
