I don’t understand what is going on with Cookies and site data in Brave nowadays. First, I can no longer find the “Clear cookies and site data when you quite Brave” setting. It used to be in Privacy and Security but now it’s nowhere to be found. I wanted to confirm the cookies were still being cle…

@coolio How to See and Delete Cookies Delete Cookies on Exit and How to Whitelist Websites

I still have no idea why when I go into Privacy and Security → Delete Browsing Data → On Exit → Cookies and Other Site Data (unchecked) it says “From 50 sites”… but there isn’t supposed to be any cookies saving according to settings in brave://settings/content/siteData and I can’t find those 50 coo…

@coolio it’s because your premise is wrong. I’m not sure why you think cookies are supposed to show up at brave://settings/content/siteData. This isn’t true on Chrome, Brave, or any chromium based browser. Cookies are only visible at brave://settings/content/all. So you trying to say you don’t see…

I said the settings in brave://settings/content/siteData and yes there are no cookies in brave://settings/content/all and my question still remains why Cookies and Other Site Data says “From 50 sites” not sure if you’re trolling but obviously nobody knows the answer to my question which is why it …

Did you maybe have another profile in the past? Maybe Brave is picking up cookies from another Brave profile folder you’re not using anymore? Also… we are just trying to help you, maybe there’s been some miscommunication… but something certainly isn’t making sense and I think we’re all going crazy …

@coolio my mind was more focused on your complaint of cookies, when in fact your focus seems to be more on Site Data. I missed this point due to the title of your topic and some of the things shared. Let me first emphasize that there is a difference between Cookies and Site Data. This is why the op…

So rather than narrowing to ask about cookies, it’s just asking what this data might be that we’re seeing reported on Clear Browsing Data but can’t find in any individual list? Also to go further, tested to see if it was just a matter of needing to clear out old data, so I tried that, but no good. …

I was going to write a comment here about a similar experience but decided to create my own topic as it seemed a bit excessive by the time I was done, and though the issues are very similar, the answer might not be so similar, see: Clearing Data NOT Always Clearing Data (APPS)
