We'd love to keep you of course...but unfortunately it is imperative the Epic "clean" itself on close. For the future, we'll see about retaining some first-party cookies but it's quite a ways off and would be dangerous to implement as it could be manipulated potentially -- that being said, we understand it's a bit of a pain logging in / resetting preferences.
For now I'd suggest using two browsers (chrome for any sites you want cookies retained for) and Epic for all browsing...or try to put up with the re-setting of preferences for sites in Epic (your privacy is worth it!).
This change should not be that Epic decides what (first-party) cookies Epic will keep after exiting the browser but rather allow the users the option to add to an "allowed" list of sites that they so choose that would retain (first-party) cookies after exiting the browser.
Of course to reduce security concerns you could limit the number of websites that are "allowed" to keep (first-party) cookies after exiting the browser (and even disallow sites that Epic considers not a good idea to keep).
Personally, I could live with just keeping the cookies for just ONE SITE; that being the "start-page" I use for all browsers.

]]>Hi gannet,
Thanks for your support and writing us.
Epic clears all the first party cookies on close. Cookies contains the information about your OS, Browser Type, Surfing habits etc. This information may leak your privacy.
At this point we are not offering user to choose to delete or keep cookies on browser cookies.
Thanks for replying and I understand that, just would like to have the option to leave them there. It really spoils the experience for me - for instance sites I go to everyday (like my home page etc), now with your browser are prohibitive.
to the point where I will likely stop using the browser and go back to chrome...

]]>Being unable to leave first party cookies on close is really a pain though - several of my sites I prefer to be able to store - google maps being one, I hate the 'new' google maps and keep having to revert to the 'classic' the site offers to remember my choice, but alas it does this with a cookie.
Also several sites saving cookies for the first time popup a message which I have to dismiss... now daily... everytime I go on them.
Please at least optionally can you let us decide if we want to delete cookies on close or leave them?
Unless I'm already missing finding this option?
thanks.

Thanks for using Epic Privacy Browser.
We are not blocking any cookies except third party cookies. Do you mean third party cookies?
If you want to disable third party cookies or cookies , go to settings->privacy->content settings -> cookies, then you can find options to enable or disable cookies and third party cookies.
Feel free to write us, still the problem persists.
