WININET_E_COOKIE_DECLINED
WININET_E_COOKIE_DECLINED is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that the cookie offered by the server was not accepted under the current user decision or WinINet policy. Requests that rely on the cookie for a session, consent, load balancing or authentication may then behave differently.
What to check
- Check cookie privacy settings, domain and path matching, and whether the site can operate without the cookie.
- Do not retry the same request indefinitely if policy is intentionally declining the cookie.
- Confirm that the server handles a client without the optional cookie or provides an alternative consent flow.
