What is the connection between VIVALDI and WIKIPEDIA?

[Whynottannaberton]

Is there a connection even? I delete cookies after I have been to a site that is highly intensive in cookies and garbage. I also tried the settings: delete when window closes: and sites that cannot post cookies and they don't work. I never use WIKIPEDIA, it is too undependable and there is a tendency to change and even omit information. I hate and don't need to be partially informed. Now, since my last update, I get cookies from Wikipedia as two domains. They just show up, I have tried not searching anything, because Wikipedia sometimes comes up on teh right of a search in a small box and I thought that box was sending me cookies but no, the two lines still pop up and are there every time I look to see how many I have and try to get rid of them. Anyone else with this nuisance? Is this a part of my daily routine? If it is, it won't be for long.

@Whynottannaberton Do you have wikipedia as a web panel? You could remove it by right clicking > edit >remove.

Also, check for any tabs in other workspaces, or extensions that might be making requests to wikipedia.

If you still don't want it you could change the site settings / permissions for wikipedia.org to block cookies completely.

@LonM I have wikipedia as a site thta cannot give me cookies. But as with all teh other sites I tried to bar with that setting, they show up. The setting just doesn't work. So I tried remove cookies after page closes and it doesn't either. Now I find out I can't see transcripts on Youtube. I click on the link and nothing happens. If I use another browser, even FALCON, it works.

@Whynottannaberton
The unwanted cookies could due an extension which use wikipedia as a source bypassing the set permission (my guess) and for yotube is likely an extension / adblocker issue but could do also messed up global permissions or the blocking of 3rd party cookies: check the at chrome://settings/content

(I'm generally against on blocking things this way as it could break things if abused).

CAD is probably the easiest way to handle the site data mess without doing surgery blocks: set and forget (if not whitelisted everything will be auto removed after x time).

@Hadden89 Keep in mind that if the cookie settings act like the password settings, then the "No cookies for this site" setting will make the site listed under Cookies. You'd need to actually look at the data for that site to see. (I don't have any sites I'm specifically blocking cookies for so I can't check, but as I say the "Don't save passwords for this site" option makes the site show in the password list.)
