running CCleaner removes "remember me" access

[jgermann]

I use CCleaner regularly. I have just determined that CCleaner is removing whatever is placed on my computer by various websites that have a "remember me" option.

 

I have the "Temporary Internet Files" check box checked. I DO NOT have the "Cookies" check box checked.

 

I had assumed that sites placed whatever it is that they use to recognize me in cookies, which is why I do not have CCleaner remove them. Is my assumption wrong?

What browser are you using?

 

Have you run checks to make sure it is ccleaner? like restarting the computer/browser and checking. Are you sure it isn't the cookie expiring ? not all are permanent

Hi jgermann, and welcome to the forum.

 

They could also be flash cookies.

 

Try clearing the box for Adobe flash player.

 

Cleaner -> Applications -> Multimedia -> Adobe Flash Player.

 

If you're using Firefox, it may be under Firefox as a plugin.

 

Also, you could manage what cookies are deleted by moving them from delete to keep.

 

Options -> Cookies.

I will try that and let you know.
