Safari doesn‘t sign out of MSN, even though you click Sign Out

The MSN.com webpage refreshes when you click Sign Out, but you may actually remain signed in.
You can tell because the "Sign Out" button does not switch to "Sign In" after you try to sign out.

This is caused by using the default cookie setting, which is to accept cookies only from sites you navigate to. Changing the cookies preference to Always allows MSN to log out properly. To change the default cookie setting:

  1. From the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
  2. Click the Security icon.
  3. Locate the Accept Cookies area in the panel.
  4. Select the Always radio button for Accept Cookies.
  5. Close the preference panel.
