    Can't stay logged in at Virtual Dr

    I don't know why - I check the box to "remember me" (I forget the actual wording) and CCleaner is keeping cookies from both discussions.virtualdr.com and virtualdr.com. Every day when I come back to VDR I have to login again but if I make multiple posts during a 12-24 hour time period I can stay logged in.

    XP Pro SP3 & IE 8.

    I also get the same problem with web-based Yahoo Mail.

    Clarify this, please - are you saying it's allowing cookies, or preventing them?

    Sounds as if a setting in some program is dumping cookies on every shutdown.

    CCleaner is allowing those cookies. I religiously monitor CCleaner's cookies window to decide which to keep or discard.

    Some other programs that might be dumping cookies:

    Internet Explorer 8
    SUPERAntispyware free (doubt it)
    Online Armor firewall (free)
    avast! v4.8 Home (free) a/v scanner

    I don't know what is causing this unless I need to keep some advertising cookies. I also have this problem with free Yahoo Mail.

    Is Delete Browser History checked?

    That is unchecked but under Browsing history > Settings the "Disk space to use" is set at 1024 MB. In Browsing history > Settings > Temporary Internet Files and History > Check for newer versions of stored pages I have "Automatically" ticked (other options are 1. Every time I visit the webpage; 2. Every time I start Internet Explorer; and 4. Never).

    Hmm, my InPrivate was set to "Choose content to block or allow" and I didn't even know it! Most of the content providers were things like quantserve.com, googlesyndication, doubleclick, google-analytics.

    I disabled it during the install, now that I think about it.

    I have remained logged in from Yesterday 06:02 PM until Today 09:40 AM and my computer has Hibernated twice during that time. I'm just trying to see if there is a specific period of time that will log me out. Just to clarify, are these the only cookies that I need to keep in order to stay logged in:

    discussions.virtualdr.com
    virtualdr.com

    Should be.
    I use Cookie Jar 1.0.1
    http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/?page_id=14
    to control my cookies.

    I have a few like you that I save.



    When I open it is shows all the cookies, I select the one I whish to save and Select the Add to Save Button
    When I have all I want, then I click File and the Save.

    Now all I have to do is hit the select all when in the undecided tab, then hit the Delet button.

    I do not use anything else to get rid of the cookies as those programs will remove the saved ones too.

    Do a search here in vdr for jasons cookie jar and you will find a lot has been posted over the years.

    That looks similar to CCleaner's Cookies window, except Cookie Jar seems a bit more automated. With CCleaner I manually select which cookie to delete or keep.

    AFAIK, I am not using anything other than CCleaner to manage cookies. IE 8's Browsing history "Delete" line is UNchecked.

    I ran defrag and ChkDsk an hour ago and when XP started after ChkDsk I noticed that I had to login again here and at Yahoo Mail.

    This is kind of a trivial problem but it is aggravating nonetheless.

    Yes it is aggravating and why I do not touch cookies with CCleaner anymore.

    Hope you get it figured out.

    This seems to be a CCleaner/IE 8 compatability issue. Piriform's CCleaner Forum IE8 incompatability topic.

    Glad I do not use that part of CCleaner now. That is the pits.

    Thanks for sharing!

    FWIW, I have never had a single problem with the CCleaner cookie manager until I installed IE 8.
