Try . . .
Close all Brave Browser windows, and Quit Brave Browser. Then start Brave Browser and in a New Window, go to
Brave Browser > Settings > Get started > On startup . . . “Continue where you left off”
. . . and adjust the settings to (about:blank) as shown;
Quit Brave Browser.
–
Start Brave Browser, and in a New Window, go to
brave://settings/clearBrowserData
Examine, study, and make written notes in a text file on your Windows OS machine, of all the settings for all three tabs: Basic / Advanced / On exit
Be certain that those settings are what they should be, for your usage. In time, you will have tested those arrangments, and figured out what you need, there.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning / clearing away of cookies, thru that process, WILL NOT REMOVE ALL of them! If you are intent on removing all cookies, then you must also, in a New Window, be sure to go to: brave://settings/siteData and manually remove sources for cookies, there.
Quit Brave Browser. Wait a moment. Start Brave Browser.
In a New Window , go to
Brave Browser > Settings > Security and Privacy > Site and Shields Settings > Content > Cookies and site data > Sites that can always use cookies
. . . and try again.
