Block cookies and clear cookies on exit

Post by andifor »

Hi

I'm working with Iron version 36.0.1950.0 for Windows and version 35.0.1900.0 for MacOS. With both, the "Clear cookie on exit" does not work. I have the following settings:
- Block sites from setting any data
- Block third-party cookies and site data

For 3 servers, I allow to set cookies
For some other servers, I allow to set cookies, but with the option "Clear on exit"

What I do:
I browse some site not in any of the lists above (e.g. http://www.apple.com)
I check the cookie icon in the address bar => red 'x' indicates, that cookies are not accepted

What I expect:
No cookies are accepted or saved

What I see:
I check "All cookies and site data" => there are some cookies for apple.com

Conclusion:
Cookie handling is broken! This is not a critical, but a major bug (my rating)

Note: for sites I have marked as "Clear on exit", the cookies are still not deleted. So even this feature does not work.

Are these known issues? I didn't find anything on this board (searching for "clear cookie exit").
Is my expectation plain stupid?
Is there a configuration to solve this problem?

Any help appreciated.
