Make a cookie undeletable on general clearout of browsing data

(1/3) > >>

renluop:
Is that possible and how can I do it?

My asking is because of my continual problems in accessing an online bank account, that fails to recognise me because a cookie token is missing.

burakkucat:
It depends upon the web-browser that you use. Name the browser and I'm sure someone will then be able to assist you.

Chrysalis:
Dont think its possible.

Modern browsers store cookies all in one big file, not like the old days where they may have been stored as individual files.

I dont know of any browser that allows you to exempt specific cookies when using their built in mass delete function.

However there is plugins that allow cookie management and those specific plugins can make certian cookies never be deleted in their own management.

So e.g. I use vanilla cookie manager with chrome, it auto deletes cookies after a short period of time that are "not" whitelisted so basically makes all cookies short lived session cookies, but cookies I whitelist survive.  I also use editthiscookie which is a very nice extension as well.  That will show all cookies that a specific page is using and each individual one can be manipulated.

renluop:
@B'cat It's Chrome.
@Chrys I'll have a gander at what you've mentioned. It may be lazy me, but have you got links?

I was also wondering, if one could save a copy cookie somwhere else on the computer in case of losing it again.

Chrysalis:
yep editthiscookie can export (backup) and import.
