A cookie is simply a piece of text that is saved in your browser's configuration, and includes your IMDbPro.com username and login information. This cookie allows our servers to recognize you every time you visit the site. If your computer is configured to reject cookies, our servers are not able to recognize you as a subscriber and you won't be able to sign up or login.
Placing a cookie on your computer allows faster, more convenient access to IMDbPro. Once you have logged in and the cookie is set, you won't be prompted to login each time you visit our site.
In order to use IMDbPro you must have cookies turned on. Most web browsers have cookies turned on by default.

If you are accessing IMDbPro.com from your workplace and your computer is behind a corporate firewall or proxy, you may want to contact your network administrator and ask that cookies from the above two domains be allowed.
