My Shopping Cart Won't Work!

Home » Help » My Shopping Cart Won't Work!

The most common cause of a shopping cart refusing to accept items is incompatible browser settings.  Specifically, the file 6060eyes.com needs to create in order to build your shopping cart cannot be created. Usually the file cannot be created because a security feature on the computer or in the browser is preventing it.  The quickest fix is to unintsall, disable or turn off the feature blocking the creation of what's known as a cookie file, but that's not always the best solution. Your secuirty is important and whatever was installed that blocks our cookie file has a reason for being there. We have no way of knowing that reason, so we're not comforatble suggesting that it be turned off or uninstalled permanently just to accomodate buying eyes on our site. We want you to understand what they are, why sites like ours use them and why some security products consider them potential threats. 

Okay, so I'm blocking your cookie file.  What the heck is a cookie file?

Cookie files are files written by websites to your computer hard drive. What they do and how they do it varies greatly. There isn't just one kind. They contain information about the website you visited and they are intended to be read by that same site or other sites at a later time. Exactly what information they have and what happens to it after you leave the website that wrote it is a gigantic grey area.  In most cases the information is benign and relates only to the website you were on when the file was created. It may contain things like preference settings for options on the website, or a record of articles and news you've already seen. In the latter example, the next time you visit the site it will check your computer for that cookie file and read it to see what articles you've already read so it knows what new content to show you. In the case of 6060eyes,com, the cookie file tracks what items you place in your shopping cart so it will know how to create a total of all the items when you want to check out and how much money PayPal needs to charge you when you pay. If you've ever started to fill a shopping cart on a website, and were forced to end the session without completing the sale and then return later to see the items you intilally selected are still waiting for you in your cart--that's a cookie file doing its job. The site created a cookie file on your computer with the items you wanted to buy during your first visit Even though you left the site without finishing your purchase, the cookie file stayed on your computer.  When you returned to shop again, the site read your cookie file and re-created the cart full of selections from the first visit. These types of cookies are desirable. You don't want to block them because they perform vital functions towards completing your purchase.

But my computer says cookies are bad files.

Unfortunately some types of cookies are also used much more aggressively by larger entities to build profiles of your browsing and shopping habbits that are shared amongst many sites. Some are also used to alert marketing companies that you are online so they can target your browser with ads customized by the interest you've shown, based on your recent web browsing and Internet searches, or to simply send spam or popup ads to you. If they can read the cookie they know you're online. Over time a person can feel boxed in by the targeted marketing enabled by these aggressive types if cookie files. At best you'll be annoyed, At worst your computer will become sluggish and bog down, and your Internet browsing will be hijacked to show only select content and product choices rather than the full range of possibilities. That's why so many security programs aggressively limit or remove cookie files. It's unfortunate for us because we, like many other websites, use the cookie files for much more benign purposes. We simply want to create a shopping cart so you can buy our products.

Great! I want to buy your eyes but I don't want all that other bad stuff. What do I do?

Try another browswer or another device, if you can. For example, if you're using your phone and the shoppng cart is blocked, try using a computer. If you're using a computer, try your phone. The idea is to try a different program that may have different level of security. If your device has more than one browser, try switching to the other one.  Another option, if you're familiar with your browser or security software settings, is to see if you can "white list" 6060eyes.com.  White listing means telling your security program that a particular site is safe so it doesn't have to be so aggressive blocking what it sees as potential threats. They usually have a place where you can add safe sites that will be exempt from the less tolerant forms of security.

Look, I'm NOT a computer Geek! I JUST WANT TO BUY SOME EYES HERE!
