The issue Thien-Thi Nguyen was having with registering at GitLab.com was
caused by the fact their cookies were turned off completely.

At the moment it is just not possible to register, or sign in, at
GitLab.com with cookies disabled.

I've noticed many other sites, including savannah.gnu.org, rely on
cookies to log in, so I'm hoping this is not an issue. Or am I mistaken?

That being said, all the results of the emacs tests ran by GitLab CI are
public and available without logging in.

The investigation of the issue of not being able to register can be
found here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30401
