No lie here, just a user who doesn’t understand how cookies work

I routinely engage with Microsoft services for work and generally only get this after clearing browser data.

Privacy oriented browser purging cookies would make sense

Firefox does not do that by default.

“Enhanced Tracking Protection” is enabled by default in Firefox. This feature blocks certain cookies.

You can easily set a cookie expiration date in 2999. That’s far enough to be indefinite. Then you save the user’s preferences in the database forever to remember when they log in elsewhere.

I can sign in to a thing, close the app and instantly get it again. On repeat. I’m not even sure I could clear the cookies in the 20 seconds it takes for it to show up again.

Browsers can be configured to clear cookies on close

Browsers that market themselves for “privacy” probably do it by default

Not in a browser, and Firefox doesn’t do it by default anyway as I’d find it very annoying.

It’s just Microsoft. It doesn’t effect everyone, but it effects a lot of people and Microsoft is just shit. About 20% of the people I work with deal with the same issue of it being required every single time and I bet some of them have never cleared a cookie in their life.

Someone else said it’s a vkahe set by an IT admin. That appears more likely.
