Cookie Resets on Quit even after Settings Change

I am on destop Brave:
Version 1.24.82 Chromium: 90.0.4430.93 (Official Build) (x86_64)

Everytime I quit Brave it logs me out of every site. I checked the clear cookies on exit box a couple weeks ago and found it too inconvenient. I have since unchecked that box and nothing is checked here:
brave://settings/clearBrowserData

However, the browser does not seem to notice this and still logs me out of everything each time I exit. How do I make the browser respect the new settings I’ve enabled?
