Comment:

 This is actually a feature of the Tor Browser Bundle designed to protect
 you. Preventing cookies from being stored is part of the Tor Browser's
 core design, since cookies are used to uniquely identify you, and a goal
 of the Tor Browser is preserving user anonymity.[1]

 Another goal of the Tor Browser is to prevent an adversary from being able
 to link the web pages you visit to any previous pages you have visited,
 this is why the Tor Browser ships with incognito mode enabled all the time
 (preventing history from being recorded).[1]
