Deleted by SuperUser diamond moderators are two answers dated 2019-02-10 that point to the exact bug report in the Chromium bug reporting system for this. The Chromium bug report that the deleted answers point to is listed as fixed as of 2019-02-18.
I posted an answer on SO but may be worth repeating here. The screenshots show "reddit.com" as clear-on-exit and "www.reddit.com" as the owner of the cookie.<p>When adding a site to the clear-on-exist list, the box shows<p><pre><code> [*.]example.com
</code></pre>
I think you need to use<p><pre><code> [*.]reddit.com
</code></pre>
if you want to include sub-domains too.
Perhaps we need a way to delete chrome, re-install it, and then re-populate w/ the exact cookies we want persisted. Nothing else. No chance for web storage or other hidden/zombie cookies. This could be done every time the app is closed.<p>Quite frankly we need to stop trusting apps, particularly browsers at all. ;)
This is most likely a website keeping the same data in HTML5 web storage, flash cookies or other, and when noticing one of them has been removed, repopulating them. These are also sometimes called super, zombie or persistent cookies.
This happens for a few years (much older than URL in question).<p>This happens also in Chromium.<p>There is (proably?) a logic when cookies will be deleted, but it is under so strange conditions, that 99% of users who choose this options, DO NOT HAVE cookies deleted on chrome/quit/restart AT ALL.<p>:-o
Still waiting for Google to add a feature to display a warning alert box when you try to close all tabs by accident, but a decade later no such feature exists even though everyone wants it, and Firefox has it, and it seems trivial to implement.
Reminds me of door control buttons in an elevator that you use everyday only to find the button resting on the floor one day, revealing that it was adhered to the control panel with a hot glue gun the whole time.
Serious question, is this a bug in Chrome that affects all cookies or is it something specific to that reddit.com cookie?<p>It might be the case that Reddit or another vendor just adds that cookie from other sites (like within a share button functionality)
Disadvantage for web users who care about privacy; advantage for advertisers and adtech companies that want to track you.<p>I wonder if Chromium has the same problem?
good time to remember that Google employees silently rolled back, over years, every single attempt by chromium contributors to block or add privacy features (e.g. restrict to same domain) for the referrer http header (which is the basis of Google ad business)
If the cookie is stored in-file somewhere you could probably make a batch file to delete it and then start chrome and put the shortcut on your desktop and in your start menu.
