All cleaning setting are the same for Firefox, internet explorer, Chrome, and Brave, but CC is still deleting the login credentials with my Brave browser on every custon clean and health check.
I’ve literally stopped using CC because of this annoyance.
does anybody know when this will be fixed? I’ve reported this for two years now.
Have you put Brave cookies in the 'Cookie Allowlist" (AKA Cookies to Keep) so that they will be left alone?
Have you unticked ‘Session’ for Brave in Custom Clean?
Is it Brave itself that is removing the cookies when you close it?
Starting with desktop version 1.53, and Android version 1.54 1, Brave browsers will include a new feature called “Forgetful Browsing,” which allows users to always clear cookies and other storage when the site is closed. Forgetful Browsing can help you:
- Be automatically logged out of a site when it’s closed
- Avoid being rate limited by a site (e.g., “you have X remaining articles to view”)
- Generally prevent sites from reidentifying you across visits

it is removing stuff it is not suppose to, so its a so its a problem with ccleaner
in my experience, to stay logged into a website, the website’s cookies have to be saved.
having ccleaner set to remove/erase “session” does not result in saved cookies being erased and so it does not affect staying logged into a website.
in recent years, i only have experience with using the google chrome browser and the mozilla firefox browser. i don’t use the MS edge-chromium browser on a regular basis and i have never tried using the brave browser, so i am not familiar with how well ccleaner works with those browsers.
mukecad made a good point, to check the brave browser’s settings to make sure that it is not removing the cookies for the websites that you are wanting to stay logged in to. again, if you want to stay logged into a website, you need to save the cookies for those websites.
‘Saved Forms’ and ‘Saved Passwords’ are nothing whatsoever to do with whether you are currently logged into a site or not.
They are information you have saved to allow certain things to be populated (filled in) automatically without you having to type it each time.
‘Saved forms’ is information that is saved in the browsers storage to enable you to autofill any forms that you use regularly.
‘Saved passwords’ are the names and passwords that you have told the browser to save and autofill when you are logging into a site.
Not quite, whilst it’s true that clearing the Session does not clear cookies not all current logins are saved as cookies.
Some are saved in the session caches rather than in cookies, and clearing the session will remove those.
So to be sure you have to consider both the cookies and the session.
(TBH staying logged into websites, any website, is not good practice from a security point of view. Anyone getting hands-on your device is straight into your accounts without having to log in. Good security practice is to log out of websites that you are not using for a while and log back in when you want/need to - That’s why banks, utility accounts, etc, will automatically log you out if you have not been active on the site for a number of minutes).
i agree. these days, there is malware that will steel cookies in order to bypass 2FA, 2-factor authentication. it amazes me when i hear people say that they are trying to stay logged in to their bank accounts.
still, in some cases, stayng logged in to a website is convenient. i save cookies for some websites that i frequent.
