Safari randomly and periodically loses cookies
It's been a while now that I'm facing this issue. From time to time, and on some websites, I have to either:
- Accept again the cookies, and/or
- Login again.
I'm using macOS 10.14.4 and Safari 12.1. It's quite annoying. Any suggestion?
It could be of because reasons mainly,
- Any unwanted extension that is supposed to behave this way
- Some software running in background to clear caches for freeing up space
- Browsing in Incognito Mode
As part of tracking prevention measures browsers may cap expiration at a certain time, especially for client-side written cookies. At the time of writing this is the case for Safari (7 days/24 hours) and Brave (7 days). https://www.cookiestatus.com/ provides an overview.
