Hi
**Sites That Can Always Use Cookies**
Everyone of us is surprised to see a list of strange sites under the header ‘Sites That Can Always Use Cookies’ @ brave://settings/cookies. This list gets even stranger and taller especially if other users are sharing the same computer. There are many posts that have reported and still report this issue. Is it a bug, is it a virus or something else? The simplest answer is ‘no it’s not’ as there are three known causes for this:
THE CAUSES:
- You toggled Brave shield to OFF for the visited site because otherwise it won’t open correctly;
- You allowed Third Party Cookies @
brave://settings/cookies - You enabled ‘Allow Google login buttons on third party sites’ especially for the urls: https://[*.]firebaseapp.com and https://accounts.google.com
THE SOLUTIONS (gathered from other posts and my own experience):
The solution for 1) and 2):
- Open
brave://settings/cookies, doubleclick on the the url, then right-click to go to URL (see image below). - On the website that opens, toggle Brave shield (Orange Icon) to ON; Check @
brave://settings/cookies(see image below).
- Open
brave://settings/clearBrowserData, open ON EXIT TAB and enable ‘Sites and Shields Settings’
Solution for 3)
Open brave://settings/socialBlocking and disable ‘Allow Google login buttons on third party sites’ (see image below); Go back to @ brave://settings/cookies to check.
