Cooky exception list disappears after enhanced cleaning.

[Zappenduster]

Hi all,

I am using a positive list for cookies in Firefox. The rest is deleted after Firefox closes.

I have unchecked the cookies box in enhanced cleaning for Firefox but I suspect CCleaner is deleting the cookies anyway.

I am using the latest Windows 10-64bit version, Firefox 83.0, and CCleaner V5.75.8238 64bit.

Thanks for any ideas.

I think we need a few more details.

But the first thing I'll ask is if you are using CCleaner's Health Check or Custom Clean?
They work differently.

It is Custom Clean and cookies is unchecked in the applications section for Firefox.

That's fine.

What do you think that CCleaner is removing that you don't want removed?

It may not be a cookie as such.

If it's things like webpage logins then they may be being cleared by 'Saved Passwords' or 'Saved Form Information'.

If it's what tabs you had open in Firefox then that's 'Session'.

If it's what page a particular site opens at then that's 'Site Preferences'.

If it's something else then it may be in Firefoxe's cache rather than a cookie.
