**Description of the issue:** Logsout any page if tab is closed.

After the latest update if I close any tab it just logs me out of it.  
Ex: If I login to stackoverflow, fb, gmail etc and closes the tab it logs me out of it, though I did not logout myself. The feature should work if I close the browser(clear cookies on exit) but it is performing clear(cookies) after a tab is closed(if it has login system)

**Brave Version( check `About Brave`):**  **V1.37.116**

Yes. It looks like the same issue as:

Try going to settings: Privacy & Security \>\> Cookies and Other Site Data \>\> Clear Cookies & Site Data and turn this setting off.

Reload Brave

Go back to setting: Privacy & Security \>\> Cookies and Other Site Data \>\>Clear browsing data\>\> on exit \>\> and select cookies and other site data.

Closing the tab should not now clear the cookies (Well it didn’t for me!) but reloading Brave did.
