Description

In konqueror > settings > Configure Konqueror > web browsing > cookies > default policy, I usually set the policy as "ask for confirmation".

However, it seems that in certain circumstances (reboot?) the setting is lost. Once, I found it as "reject all cookies" and found dozens and dozens of unwanted cookies which I deleted one by one. Another time, it was somehow reset to "reject all cookies" and I found about it rapidly because I couldn't log in my own sites.

This has happened many time with several users on my machine.

I'm still using Kubuntu 9.10. Hopefully this will be fixed in Kubuntu 10.04.

Bug 86701 - cookie policies are ignored
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86701

not the same, because the policies are followed... it's just that they are reset.

Ah! I think I know what triggers the bug.
When a dialog pop up asks for a policy for a specific domain, setting the policy for the domain changes the global policy instead!!

I think the bug was BTCATM (Between the chair and the monitor). I simply chose the wrong option when the dialog pop up came up, asking for how to handle cookies from a specific domain. I chose "all cookies" instead of "all cookies from this domain"!!

I'll pay more attention next time and if I find there is a legitimate bug somewhere, I'll update this ticket.
