Why are you testing with the property cookieEnabled? just try to create a cookie and check if it's done. And in case cookies work, delete the test created cookie.

 function are_cookies_enabled()
    {
            document.cookie="testcookie=valid";
            cookieEnabled = (document.cookie.indexOf("testcookie") != -1) ? true : false;

            if(cookieEnabled){
               document.cookie = "testcookie=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC;"; 
            }

            return cookieEnabled;
    }
