Logged out of accounts after closing browser
-
@lfisk Yes, they share data.
-
@Pathduck Thanks for confirming and I'm not complaining I think a lot of people get confused with this... The default 3rd Party cookies being blocked in Private (Incognito) windows causes some site failures too...
-
@lfisk There are a LOT of myths around private browsing. And IMO browser-makers tend to oversell the privacy aspects of it with the iconography (Spies/Ghosts etc).
All a private window is good for is avoiding anything you do in the private session "polluting" your regular profile (history, cookies, cache etc). It's not some kind of privacy "silver bullet" as some seem to think. Without a VPN your ISP will still see what sites (or IPs) you visit. Sites can still track your activities if you sign in to their services.
Use a private window for something you need to keep hidden from your regular profile data, then close it. People who use private windows as their default have completely misunderstood what they're for.

@Pathduck Now if you could just get everybody to read this when they are having problems while using Private windows
I allow uBlock in Private but other extensions, especially my JavaScript blocker is disabled. Works nice for as you said not polluting my Regular history, cache... and viewing sites that require a lot of JS liberties.
Thanks again for the info/confirmation

@Pathduck I understand this my problem included two parts one with accounts not automatically logging in and the second being that I was having issues logging into some specific accounts all together.
-
I also had this happen today. Basically all the cookies were wiped. I could tell as when I went into the setting there were only a dozen or so cookies (from the sites that I just had used that session) vs the hundreds that would normally be there. This also happened with a recent update a month or two ago.
BTW- this had nothing to do with a private window. This was all in the regular default interface.
I hope the development teams looks at this.

That is a weird issue, but i know about other users, they contacted me, with Vivaldi losing cookies, on Linux and Windows.
-
Looks like it happened again. All the cookies got deleted. Have to log onto every site again.... very annoying.
-
same thing happened for me in 6.5 and 6.6.3271.45 (now).
- I'm not using private mode.
- I'm not using any 3rd party app for clean/delete temp files.
- I checked the cookies setting:
I've searched about this bug too! and saw that it's not a new problem!...
That's very annoying and if it continues, I need to change my default browser. -
Same thing happening to me. All cookies are being cleared on close.
I tried a fresh installation of Vivaldi (tried both install options to all users or just this user)
- Cookies settings to Allow All
- No browser extensions other than Bitwarden (password manager)
- Logged in with Vivaldi Sync
I noticed that if I don't log in with Vivaldi Sync, the cookies don't get cleared after closing the browser. Sync settings are set to Sync All Data.
If I log in to Sync and then log out, it still keeps clearing the cookies, it only works if I don't every use Sync or create a new Profile that also doesn't use Sync.I hope this can provide help figuring out the issue, as I don't have any other software or extension that could be just clearing Vivaldi's cookies when I'm logged in with Sync.
Vivaldi Windows 6.7.3329.26 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

I found the issue. For some reason after logging in to Vivaldi Sync the On-Device site data setting default behavior was set to Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all window.
