@Typh posted a new topic, subject "Cookies no longer working upon opening Brave after starting computer". It read:

   **Description of the issue: Majority of cookies do not load, forces re-log ins. For some reason, stuff like themes and the like remain saved. Massive lag spike upon trying to open pages that lasts multiple minutes**
    
    **Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): It just… happens when logging in and started randomly, I don't know what to tell you**
    
    **Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!): See topic title.**
    
    **Expected result: Actually keeping my log-ins**
    
    **Reproduces how often: It's happened every day so far.**
    
    **Operating System and Brave Version(See the`About Brave` page in the main menu): 1.44.108**
    
    **Additional Information: I tried asking about this before but no one ever replied to it or even tried asking for more info.**

    Hi  
    Check the following:
    
      1. Make sure no external app to Brave clears Brave cookies.
      2. Open `brave://settings/system` and enable ‘Continue running background apps when Brave is closed'.
      3. Open `brave://settings/clearBrowserData`, open ‘On exit' Tab and disable clearing cookies
      4. Open `brave://settings/passwords` and enable ‘Offer to save passwords' and ‘Auto Sign-in'

    On the ‘offer to save passwords' bit' and ‘auto sign-in' part, I don't feel comfortable leaving passwords on the computer and, annoying as it is, I'd rather sign in manually to keep control of things. Automating that feels like that could lead to problems.
    
    Everythign else noted is already taken care of though, I just checked and it isn't set to clear anything upon exit and background aps are set to run even when closed. And I haven't added any new programs into the mix so I doubt any of them are clearing cookies (and wouldn't explain the lag spike).
    
    One thing I noticed was when I tried a boot scan (but aborted before it finished since it had taken over 2 hours and there was stuff I needed to do on the computer and couldn't keep putting off) was that there was an error to do with cookies that came up while Brave was being scanned. Is it possible there's an error in reading cookies that lead to them not being recognized and having everything logged out? And could this error lead to the aforementioned lag spike?

To which @Typh replied

    Just as a note, I'm not saying it's bethhorn@example.org. I'm saying that those things you suggested were either not a factor, were already set that way, or would be something I would be more comfortable doing manually.
