In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/clearBrowserData

Select the Basic tab. Enable all three of:

  • Browsing History
  • Cookies and other site data
  • Cached images and files

Click on the ‘Clear data’ button.

(The ‘Clear data’ button also saves the selections.)

Examine all the settings for the other two tabs: 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 Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/cookies

Scroll down that settings page, to Sites that can always use cookies

Click the Add button

Enter [*.]ing.pl:443 as the site . . . but Do Not Enable

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

Click the Add button

Repeat those steps for the following sources of possible cookies:

  • [*.]ingbank.pl:443
  • ospe.ing.pl

While still at: brave://settings/cookies

  • Enable: Block third-party cookies
  • DISABLE: Clear cookies and site data when you close all windows

Next, go to: brave://settings/content/javascript

Scroll down that javascript settings page to Allowed to use javascript

Click the Add button

Enter [*.]ing.pl:443 as the site . . . but Do Not Enable

  • Current Private session only

Click the Add button

Repeat those steps for the following sources of javascripts:

  • [*.]ingbank.pl:443
  • ospe.ing.pl

Now, check the Brave Browser Global Shields settings - in a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/shields

  • DISABLE: Auto-redirect AMP pages (always)
  • DISABLE: Prevent sites from fingerprinting me based on my language preferences (temporary - your option)
  • Trackers & ads blocking: Standard (temporary - usually Aggressive)
  • Enable: Upgrade connections to HTTPS (‘HTTPS Everywhere’ toggle switch) (always)
  • Enable: Block scripts
  • Block fingerprinting (aka Fingerprinting blocking): STANDARD (temporary - usually Strict)
  • Block cookies (aka Cookie blocking): Only cross-site

Close the Brave Browser settings window.

In a Brave Browser > New Window, go to: brave://settings/security

  • DISABLE: Always use secure connections (HTTPS ONLY toggle switch)
  • DISABLE: Use secure DNS

Next, you will test both of two scenarios

First - by opening a New Window

Second - by opening a New Private Window

AFTER testing access to the bank, using the New Window . . . you will log out of the bank website (if you got that far) and then Quit Brave Browser . . . or simply Quit Brave Browser.

NEXT, you will start Brave Browser; and, you will test access to the bank, using the New Private Window.

By then, you will have ideas about, how to test further. YOU are the troubleshooter, for your issue.

Maintain detailed typed or written notes of your progress, your steps taken, the results for each. Report back here, with your findings. Thanks.
