Previously I could add domains so that their cookies wouldn’t get deleted when I closed the browser. Now I can’t find this option, and the closest I get is adding domains that can use third-party cookies. Version 1.63.162 Chromium: 122.0.6261.69 (Official Build) (64-bit) [Screenshot 2024-02-27 18…

Not sure if this is the right answer but if you have it to delete all cookies on closing as standard and then on the sites you want to keep go to the Brave Shields lion (when you are on the site), click on it and on the last item, Forget me when I close this site, move the slider to the left.

Thanks for trying to help. That setting is off (left) by default on all sites I checked. It’s so strange that they would remove the option to add “whitelisted” domains.

Apologies as not sure if we are talking at cross purposes or not. In Settings, Shields, Forget me when I close this site - IE the global default, is set to the right position so on. I then use the Lion logo to switch specific sites to off which effectively whitelists them. This was recommended by…

@Bravealized agree it’s weird. So I guess Kanga is suggesting a good workaround. I think they kind of explained well but I’m going to break it down a bit more just in case it helps. If you go to Settings → Shields, which is brave://settings/shields, you’ll see all the global options. That is, these…

Thanks! I’ll just accept this as the solution.

LOL that is basically the same, but now they call it “Allowed to save data on your device” instead of “Allowed to save cookies on your device” :smile: brave://settings/content/siteData

Wow, I feel dumb not having seen it. I do go crazy with how so many little things change and they don’t do a solid job of helping us realize the changes and how to navigate through it. It’s part of where I was complaining about the overall UX to some of the developers and staff at Brave . Whether it…

[image] kanga: line is absent on that build? For this part, I’d have to tag @Mattches to see if he can advise. He’ll know more on if all versions indeed should have it or when it will land. I thought it was available for all, but if you’re saying it’s not then just have to ask someone from Br…

There is one additional step you must take in addition to the Forgetful Browsing setting. To stay logged in on sites, you also need to add sites to: Settings > Privacy & Security > On-device site data > Allowed to save data on your device.
