I have 2 browsers on my corp PC, Edge is set up to not keep anything, no hostory, no cookies, nothing. It is a PITA sometimes, since our company is using a central identity management and every time I open corp stuff, I have to authenticate, instead of benefitting from the single sign-on, but I don't want Edge to collect trash where work happens. However I set my Firefox up with keeping cookies, history and everything. I have logged in to bikeforums last year =when I got the current PC, but the setup was the same with the predecessor as well), and it lets me in directly and never times out.

Earlier I experienced the timeout on my phone, but most likely I allow cookies there since I got a new one as it works like FFox on the PC.
