I usually logged into GitHub, SourceHut, Amazon & couple other sites as I use them regularly. Even if the "Clear Cookies" disabled in settings, sometimes I get signed out of all. This happened to me couple of times. Once just now. And other times in the last year. Not sure what is triggering the browser to forget my sessions.

I think I mistakenly cleared cookies from menu drop down. I thought it would clear cookies that I enabled temporarily for some random sites that I visited. Seems like it clears the whole cookie file, including the ones from domain settings.
I wish cookie management were a thing in PB.

Are you certain it isn't just that the websites have a timeout on the life of their login cookies? That is standard behavior for many websites to periodically force people to log in.

That is the current expected behavior. However, see Feature #5: Fine grained cookie management, which I intend to start working on soon.

There are couple of ones that have such behaviour. Although, it was my mistake that I cleared cookies myself, since all of my PB sessions strategically gone.
I do hope to see Cookie management soon. Tq again for keeping the project alive mate.
