Cannot delete partitioned cookie

[iblazhko]

Description of the issue: When deleting a partitioned cookie, it is removed from the list initially, but then re-appears after reloading settings page

How can this issue be reproduced?

1. Navigate to a site that uses partitioned cookies. In my case it was https://www.jessops.com/, but I cannot confirm if that cookie was created immediately or you need to navigate to a particular area of the site
2. Navigate to brave://settings/content/all
3. Look for the web site cookies and use trash icon to delete. At this point the cookies for the web site are removed from the content settings list
4. Refresh brave://settings/content/all page. The cookie re-appears in the list

Expected result:

The cookie is deleted permanently.

Brave Version( check About Brave): Version 1.71.123 Chromium: 130.0.6723.116 (Official Build) (arm64)

Using Developer Tools

The Developer Tools window is associated with the current Brave Browser window, and NOT associated with other Brave Browser windows.

Opening the Developer Tools window

• MacOS users, key combination: Command + Option + “I” (no quotes)
• Windows OS users: key combination: Control + Shift + “I” (no quotes)

On the first occasion of using Developer Tools, the Developer Tools “window” is usually a part of (contained within) its associated Brave Browser window . . . but you can make the Developer Tools window, a standalone window (though keeping its association with the Brave Browser window). I recommend that you do so:

In the upper right-hand corner of the Developer Tools window, there is an “Organizer” 3-vertical-dots button - click on that. The result should be a pop-up:

Notice the tiny blue icon that is first (left to right) among 4. Click on that icon. The Developer Tools window will become a standalone window.

• ‘https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-guide-chromium/’

Now, reload the Jessops.com webpage.

In the Developer Tools window, select the Application tab. And over to the left, in the Storage pane, select Cookies.

There are 2, sometimes 3, sources of cookies:

https://www.jessops.com
https://widget.trustpilot.com
https://email.jessops.com

You may right-click each of those and then click the “Clear” button.

---

Next, back to the Brave Browser webpage window for the Jessops.com website.

In the URL address field, immediately to the left of the “https:// . . .”, there is a small padlock icon. Click on that small padlock icon.

In the resulting pop-down window, scroll down and select “Cookies”.

The top list of sources for cookis, in my BB window, shows:

email.jessops.com
www.jessops.com
widget.trustpilot.com

In that list of “Cookies in use”, you may choose to Allow, or Block, or Remove sources of cookies.

IF you toggle the tiny, right-arrow for a cookie source, the cookie classifications are revealed.

IF you toggle the tiny, right-arrow for the cookie classification, “Cookies”, the specific names of the cookies are revealed.

For starters, I suggest that you simply Block or Remove the top level sources - example: email.jessops.com.

---

Now

You may look over the webpage, and probably not see a new cookie show up in your BB cookie storage; BUT, merely hovering a mouse arrow tip over some piece of the webpage, might cause the Jessops.com server to issue another new cookie.

So, if you are serious about NOT having some cookie from a website, you can Block the source.

You may also, in a Brave Browser New Window, go to:

brave://settings/cookies

Scroll down that settings page, to Sites that can never use cookies

Click the Add button

Enter [*.]jessops.com as the site . . . but do not Enable (if that is your wish), the following:

• Current Private session only
• Including third-party cookies on this site

Click the Add button

I suggest testing:

• in a Brave Browser New Window
• in a Brave Browser New Private Window
