Option to clear cookies on exit and dedicated whitelist

@linhartj Yes, for desktop too, please

Hi all, +1 vote, this is definitely a missing feature, I was very surprised it's not in Vivaldi already -> All platforms.
Similarly to other participants of this thread - I want my cookies to be kept for a session (or shorter; side-note: there are extensions to discard all cookies e.g. every 10 minutes),
nevertheless, some of the cookies should be protected and never deleted automatically. It's really annoying to go through all 2-factors and other trouble multiple times a day.UI-wise, you can just add a button to protect/whitelist/allowlist a cookie next to the delete button:
(Store user's configuration no matter the current setting, but hide this feature when Accept cookies is set to All)

Hi
Currently running
Vivaldi Andriod version 4.3.2439.53Requesting a cookie management feature for Vivaldi on Android, where specific cookies for specific websites or services can be kept permanently, and or managed by schedule times; that is until I choose to remove those specific cookies manually or alter the time period for which they can be kept and removed.
For clarification when I say “kept permanently”, and “manage cookies”, ”The Clearing browsing data/Cookies and site data” or, “Site settings”, or “Clear session data” option in the settings of Vivaldi Andriod should have no impact on this proposed solution as exact intent is that the specific websites or services are trusted and therefore Whitelisted and should NEVER be modified by any other setting which impact cookies in the Andriod version of the browser.Yes. I am aware that the option to store cookies permanently on the desktop version of Vivaldi is available, as only after a long frustrating search I was able to find and figure how to do this so I could keep Microsoft webmail client specific settings enabled; so i don't have to set them every day when I log into said. However I can find no option to do so, whether by Chrome Flags or Chrome extensions or external managers (which I PREFER NOT TO USE because security concerns and lack of guarantee of permanence and development) for the Andriod version of Vivaldi.
Looking forward to some response.
I'd actually pay for this feature or for a script to do same

Hi, i just added a request for the same feature for Vivaldi Andriod, as its Absoultly ESSENTIAL to security efficiency and continuity of safe browsing in my usage and view.
Have you or @luetage receive any feed back or seen any progress or development form your previous request?
Its now October 2021 and I am shocked to see that i can find very little so far from my searching the forum of such a critical feature.
@jane-n or @Folgore101
is this under any sort of consideration or development anywhere?I like Vivaldi so much, however, there are about three other crucial features would make it absolutely efficient and optimal and seem not to workagainst features which prioritize “privacy with ease intent” of the whole browser system of both the desktop and Android versions. Firstly a native cookie manager which is consistent for both desktop and Android and can synchronize across Desktop and Andriod versions. Secondly the ability or option to clear or not keep closed tab history (desktop) and download history (desktop and Android) 3. Option to enable clearing all specified data on exit in the desktop version just as has been achieved on the Andriod version.

It's april 2023..... 3 and half year later.... and still no whitelist for cookies.... I am boyond speechless on how a simple but crucial feature like this is not yet available in the main settings. I was interested in using Vivaldi as my main browser but at this point I think there are some deep deep problems inside the development team that make me question the entire project.
I really hope they will solve their problems one day, but in the meantime I'm going to use another browser. -
@sirius23 You can already delete all cookies on exit. What’s also possible is deleting cookies before exit and leaving cookies for regularly used sites intact. I don’t intend to say the request is done by any means, but the current status isn’t as bleak as you make it out to be. Grab your towel, don’t panic.

Probably the best way to whitelist a cookie (hoping come something similar on desktop too)
@sirius23 which browsers can whitelist cookies on mobile? (not very updated on the matter)

For me, not having this in a browser is probably the biggest pain to deal with. If Vivaldi did get this feature, I'd suggest implementing it like DDG does it with their fireproofing system. It's simpler to use than Firefox desktop

Greetings.
I also would love to have a feature where I can whitelist cookies and local storage data that is safe from being automatically deleted. For a privacy focused browser, I think this is an absolutely essential feature to have.
Deleting everything and having to login again each time, is tedious at best. And considering how much data gets stored through cookies and local storage, don't automatically deleting them, is opening pandora's box for all kinds of tracking and privacy issues.
I agree, a feature like the DuckDuckGo mobile browser has (its fireproofing system), would be an immense improvement over the current state. And naturally it's Chromium based too... so it is possible.
Like someone else said, I would even pay to have this feature that is how essential I think this is.
If we had extensions (like Edge does afaik) then we could at least solve this through an extension.
To make a long post short: Please add a cookie and local storage whitelist. Vivaldi is such a great product on desktop and mobile. This is really a (imho) major oversight considering the target audience of Vivaldi.
Thanks,

The whitelist function on Android is key. I can't believe this thread started in 2019 and we still don't have a function that is so essential. DDG has had it for years. I have been a keen Vivaldi user for a couple of years but with more sites I use requiring more security cookies I am now reluctantly looking for an alternative... shame.
