iOS 7 has a bug (or made a design decision which goes against the documentation) to set the cookie policy of NSURLConnections to whatever the user has set their cookie preferences to via Settings -> Safari. This simple method resets the cookie policy to accept always. Apple documentation for cookieAcceptPolicy: https://developer.apple.com/librar…

- (void)takeControlOfTheCookies
{
    [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] setCookieAcceptPolicy:NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyAlways];
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{

    [self takeControlOfTheCookies];

    // ...
}

// If you want to be extra sure...
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
{
    [self takeControlOfTheCookies];

    // ...
