johnoo Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have my Postcode set in Google Map & BBC weather, but after shutdown each evening these are being deleted.I run CCleaner but have set it for these cookies to be kept.Is there some other setting in Windows 7 that deletes cookies?

-pops- Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 In your browser (assuming FF or IE) look under Tools (gearwheel in IE), Options (Internet Options in IE), Privacy. In FF look at the setting for History and adjust as appropriate. In IE look at Settings and set the level as you want it to be - there is an explanation of what each level does as you slide the pointer.

I am using IE, the Privacy was set to Medium, I have now changed to low & will see what happens when I closedown. Am a bit concerned about this as the default setting is medium but let's see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnoo Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 The same thing has occurred again. On switch on this morning, with the "Privacy" set to low I have lost BBC & Google map settings for UK Post Code. The slightly concerning aspect is that this did not occur the day before ie seems to be a bit random. has anybody got advise to solve the problem?

-pops- Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Try: in IE, Internet Options -> General -< Browsing History and ensure the Delete box is not checked. You can also adjust within the Settings box. In FF, Tools -> Options -> Privacy and ensure the History box is set to "Remember" or adjust to suit via the dropdown.

I will be checking daily to see if the saved locations are maintained.If they are I will commence using CCleaner again & check what occurs.By doing this I hope to find if the problem is being caused by CC or the Browser settings (IE10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnoo Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Now getting desperate! I'm now totally confused about this. I've moved over to Ccleaner 4.05, which I believe does not delete “well used” cookies. I have also checked the listing on Ccleaner of cookies not to be deleted & the items that I want to maintain are on this listing. So tonight I ran CC & then closed down. Later I restarted the computer to find again that the locations I wanted to keep on Google maps & BBC weather have been deleted. Last week when I did not run CC the locations were not deleted. But could it be something within IE 10 is causing the problem? My problem is I do not know what to change in IE & also if it is IE that is causing the problem why did it not occur last week? Tonight I am going to shutdown without running CC & see what happens on start up tomorrow. But if viewers have any ideas to solve this problem please post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnoo Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Reporting back Last night I shutdown but did not run CC Started up this morning to find that locations set had been maintained. Hence I think it is a problem with CCleaner I repeat that I am now using V 4.05 which stores much used cookies, but I have also checked the "keep list" & the BBC & Google cookies are in this. So where do I go from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnoo Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Decided to create a new post as I have moved to version 4.05 of CCleaner. Yesterday I ran CCleaner, looked afterwards at 3 locations I had set, Zip/Post code for Google Map & BBC weather, & all were maintained. I then shutdown computer & then started up again. The locations set were still there Saturday night Ran CC & shutdown Sunday morning Started up computer, all locations had been deleted Why? & why was it OK on the Saturday? You ask "Were the cookies still there" I can only requite my last post, which I think is clear that I did a shutdown during the day & the locations were maintained, but on doing a shutdown at the end of the day the next day the locations were not maintained. Do you think this is something to do with IE "Browser History " settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Over the last few days I have been conducting tests in the hope of curing the problem of locations that I need to keep being deleted. I have gone into Tools/Delete Browsing history & have unchecked one at a time :- Preserve Favourite website data/Temporary Internet file/Cookies. I have then run Ccleaner, noting after each run that there were no “Cookies to Delete” & “Cookies to keep” were the ones I had set. On the next start up after each trial the locations I wished to keep have been deleted. As a last trial I ensured that all of the parameters in Tools/Delete Browsing history were checked I then shut-down without running Ccleaner On the next start up the locations I wished to keep have been maintained. Has anybody any suggestions/advise on how to clear this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Something I have just realised that may help somebody to give me an idea on how to clear this problem. If I run CC & then look at the sites where I want locations to be maintained I find that they have been maintained. Example my Post code for BBC weather is still set. I then shutdown computer On next start up the Post code has been deleted. But, when I don't run CC before shutdown on start up the Post code is maintained Just hope somebody can help solve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludgard Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just a thought, johnoo.Oftentimes there are several cookies that need to be kept from websites to be remembered.Example: For me, I have to keep the below cookies from this site to be remembered.Clean all cookies and log in to only the target websites. Keep all cookies related to the domains.As far as the "intelligent cookie keeper" that CCleaner offers; forget about it and get your hands dirty....

bludgard Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 What other "optimizing" software is running on target machine? Any boot-scans from anti-virus/malware programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hi Bludgard & thanks for your interest.I run AVG 2013 free version & also run Malwarebytes on a weekly basis. Think I have answered your question OK?Think it best now to wait & see what happens at next normal shutdown/start-up, would you agree?

Irene Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Johnoo, if the problem persists, could you perhaps try removing CCleaner with Revo Uninstaller Free: http://download.cnet.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html . Use the search for all other files etc towards the end of the process. Then, download the latest version of CCleaner from here:http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner using the link on the upper right corner in the link - version 4.05.4250 Next do all the things which you have done during your trials and wait and see.
