Advice Request How can I keep cookies for specific sites when I close Microsoft Edge?

[amirr]

As it says on Microsoft Edge Canary allows to keep cookies for specific sites when you close the browser

But when I clear the history of Edge ( not the cookies) it deletes the Allow list. Anyone having the same issue?
Here are my settings:

Which branch did you use? On stable I don't have the problem

Is it a Known issue? Unstable builds have new features that may not work as intended.

Stable. That feature was in the Canary channel before. But now in Stable channel.

Uncheck "Site permissions" . The allow list is saved under site permissions.

Thank you,SMG, I did uncheck it. Also in edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
Site permissions are turned off.

I think you have to add those sites where you want to keep your data in Site permissions / Cookies and site data at Allow:

You've allowed the following sites to save and read cookies on your device. Cookies for these sites won't be cleared when you exit the browser.

I already added.

Found it:
Go to edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
At Cookies and other site data you have the option to add the sites.
Uncheck Site permissions or those sites will be cleared.
See screenshot where I added 4 sites (and under site permissions you also see 4 sites).
This works for me with Edge Stable.

I added in another format, I deleted the [*.] and just put the URL. Is that a big deal?

That also works, but with for example for Wilders Security Forums wilderssecurity.com didn't work.
www.wilderssecurity.com works and [*.]wilderssecurity.com works.
malwaretips.com works and [*.]malwaretips.com works.
So, it depends on the website?

I visit the site and check in "See all cookies and site data" which cookie has been set and use that. This has worked well on the few cookies I save, without using wildcards.

I can confirm the strange behaviour with [*].
sometimes both urls are needed, sometimes not. I don't know how this is handled

Also having Export/Import tool is a good idea to have there, to back up the list of those sites and import them later with a single click, not one by one.

Doesn't get that synced to online account - if sync is activated ?
But yes, backups are always good and important

No unfortunately Edge doesn't sync the whitelisted cookies... The same case with Firefox.

I use cookie Auto delete and Ublock Origin Only .
