I have my settings set to delete cookies etc on exit of the internet as I find them intrusive.

However, this results in me getting repeated messages from Norton anti-virus (where I have clicked 'do not show again' and also; I have to login every day to read articles in papers like the Sydney Morning Herald.

I use Microsoft Edge and have tried keying in the website address of sites I trust eg Sydney Morning Herald but to no avail.

Has anyone had experience in this area and have any suggestions please?

If you are not logged into a website, then the only way that website can "remember" your preferences is with a cookie.

So, if you delete those on exit, then it will appear as you are a new user next time you visit.

edit : And those cookies are there to remember your session when you log in too - so you will be logged out if you delete them also.

@Russ

Thanks Russ

I had hoped the feature in Edge would allow certain cookies to be retained and I simply had not got the settings right.

Anyway, cheers and thank you for the reply and keep up the fantastic work on RHP

@MartinS

If you want to spend the time configuring it, you can do this in Edge.

Setting : Cookies and Site Permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data > Cookies and site data

You can set custom settings for each site and cookie path.
