Whenever visiting DiyA, the first thing I do is scrolling to the bottom of the page to set the theme color and time/date format to my liking, but if I decide to log in and after a while log out, the theme color and time/date format cookies gets deleted at log out, would it be possible to exclude the following two cookies from being deleted at log out:
  • diyaudio_language_id
  • diyaudio_style_id
I have tried to use couple of cookie extensions in my browser and lock the cookies but it doesn't always work.

BTW, the placement of these theme color and time/date format settings at the bottom of the page and the behavior is rather annoying and frustrating when one have to reapply these setting several times a day, here's what the procedure look like right now:

  • Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page (or use "End" button on the keyboard)
  • click on theme button
  • page represents the available styles in a pop-up window, but... AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE far from the bottom
  • ok, make a large mouse movement to the TOP OF THE PAGE to select the style...
  • page reloads and GOES BACK TO THE TOP, hey I am not done yet!!!
  • ok, one more round of this nonsense circus... scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page
  • ... click on the "YYYY-MM-DD / 12-hour clock" and select the one used in our region.
...rinse and repeat...........
  • page represents the available styles in a pop-up window, but... AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE far from the bottom
  • ok, make a large mouse movement to the TOP OF THE PAGE to select the style...
  • page reloads
Not fun.

Thanks for the info. My browser is set to dump all cookies at the end of each session, but I have a white list. I simply keep all cookies from diyaudiio.com. This makes my job as a moderator much easier. 👍

@Pano how do you make a white list in your browser, I am mainly using Brave browser which is essentially Chrome browser, I think I found the place where to whitelist, but it's not on per cookie but rather the whole URL.
I think I found the whitelist place under Brave, think it's here
brave://settings/content/siteData
or on Chrome..
chrome://settings/content/siteData
have forgotten that location, but I have memory it never preserved and often lost everything after an update, maybe that was when I used the Snap package installer, I am on Linux machine.. will give it a try and see how it goes.

I have not used Brave, but for me in FireFox I don't bother to pick and choose cookies, thus the whitelist saves all cookies from a particular URL. That's not as granular as what you wish to do, but it works for me.
