It could be a website issue. Lets say it's not for now.

Are you running any firewall / anti-virus software? If so, what are you using?

First thing I would do would be to delete all temp internet files and reset your browser defaults. What browser are you using? If you're using Internet Explorer then download Mozilla Firefox and see if the cookies on that site work with it. If you're having the same issue with another browser chances are it's something to do with your firewall, or even your DSL router could be blocking it. If it's fine with Firefox then just make sure you allow cookies with Internet Explorer. Tools->Internet Options->Security->Internet->custom level-> and make sure all cookies are allowed, maybe even lower the setting to low or medium low and try it then. If it works you know it's just a security setting in IE, set it back to medium and have a look at your current cookie settings. If you're using McAfee Security Suite then add the site as a trusted host with the Privacy Service part of the suite and it will allow cookies from that site.

It really does depend on your setup.

Off topic for a second. If that is AVG anti-virus then your going to have computer problems running Avast also. You need to get rid of one of them.

Download firefox browser ,leave it at default security settings, it should load up that site properly.SET internet explorer to accept cookies in tools options ,security.SOME sites need pop up blocker switched off too,to use all the website,s features.
