I installed the latest version of Opera (26). I made the mistake of deleting my old stuff including history and passwords. Now, if I try to log into the gmail account I was using with Opera, I get the following error message:
"We've detected a problem with your cookie settings."
"Enable cookies"
"Make sure your cookies are enabled. To enable cookies, follow these browser-specific instructions.""Clear cache and cookies"
"If you have cookies enabled but are still having trouble, clear your browser's cache and cookies.""Adjust your privacy settings"
"If clearing your cache and cookies doesn't resolve the problem, try adjusting your browser's privacy settings. If your settings are on high, manually add www.google.com to your list of allowed sites."I get similar error messages with YouTube and other sites. What do I need to do to fix this?

Go into settings and look under cookies to see if the "Allow local data to be set (recommended)" radio button is selected.

Yes- the "Allow local data to be set (recommended)" radio button is selected.

Just clicked on the "manage exceptions" button and added "mail.google.com". No effect.

I get the same result ("We've detected a problem with your cookie settings.") when I try to sign into a YouTube account.

Have you tried clearing the cookies for the sites that are giving you problems ?. E.g. 'www.youtube.com' and 'youtube.com' for youtube.

Today I was going to make out a bug report to send to Opera. Went through the steps- 1. open opera 2. put mail.google.com as the URL 3. get an error message...
And it worked! I am now able to log into both gmail and Youtube. Very, very strange. Anyway, the problem has been solved.

I'm wondering if it has to do with following the above steps and rebooting. Did you try this?

Yes,Infact I sent a bug report to Opera,and when trying to use my gmail,it said it was unknown,so,I used yahoo email. BTW, everything worked fine yesterday.It was my first day to use Opera,today is day two for me.

Anew day and the problem is Back.I did not power off overnight,simply closed the lid to put the laptop to "sleep". I CAN log into Gmail today though,just Youtube with the "cookie" mesg.Turbo on/off had no affect.Also disabled Akamai netsession,with no affect.Full scan with Malwarebytes and Avast shows nothing.

I noticed clearing cookies action is set to default of last 4 hours. I changed drop down selection to 4 weeks and cleared them. Then I was able to log-in to gmail and YouTube again.

So essentially this is what I tried after following all of the recommended Google steps. This is the solution that worked for me. Change it to "last 4 weeks".
Much obliged twn7.

GOOD LUCK

HELLO TO ALL !
I THINK I HAVE JUST FOUND THE SOLUTION !
GO TO SETTINGS----> PRIVACY & SECURITY -----> COOKIES Open ALL COOKIES AND SITES DATA and Remove all
THEN GO TO SETTINGS ----> DEFAULT BROWSER click on Import bookmarks and settings and check only to reimport the cookies from the browser that you used before Opera .
That should work !
