why do websites not remember/save cookies when entered and revisited?

194 viewsOtherTechnology

I don’t believe there is a single website or app that has ever asked me for my cookie settings and then never asked again. This is not down to whether I am using a VPN or not as I have only recently began using one on all devices. Why do I constantly need to re-enter them?

When I say app, it is primarily a link through the Facebook app but a page I have visited before.

are you using an iphone or ipad?

if i’m not mistaken, on top of the responses other folks have given, apple in particular *does not share cookies* between browser and the in-app browser (“webview”) that apps may use. in particular, iiuc, the way an app uses that in-app browser can also determine whether or not cookies are shared *even within the app*. you are better off jumping out of the in-app browser view and into safari or whatever browser you use in these situations.
