Even after shutting down computer, Brave is keeping logged in to sites

[luixxiul]

Describe the issue you encountered:

https://community.brave.com/t/even-after-shutting-down-computer-brave-is-keeping-me-logged-in-to-everything/1686?u=suguru

Settings: Shields up. Clear the following data types when I close Brave: everything is checked. Do not track: checked. Password Manager: don't manage my passwords.

So how is it that when I restart my computer and I start Brave back up again, I find that I'm still logged in to many sites that I use in the operation of my business?

I don't think I understand, cookies will be stored for the site to save login information. You can control to block cookies from a site via the Brave Shield though. Or change the global options.

Let me know if I misunderstood the issue, please feel free to re-open if that's the case.

I assume the feedback claims that the cookies are not cleared by closing the browser though the option to clear them is enabled on about:preferences

Yes the user have the option set to delete everything in the settings but they are not deleted.

@Jacalz are you experiencing this issue also? Or if you haven't, are you able to reproduce?

[Jacalz]

No I can't reproduce and I am not having the issue, just opening since the user from the community where still having the problem 😉 @bsclifton

Does Chromium have some kind of separate cache? Some things are not cleared (dev tool settings, visited links #9351). This could be caused by that.

@liunkae yeah, i believe so. we should have a Reset profile button which just deletes your browser profile folder.
