Cookie bug?

[AnotherSignup]

Since updating to v27.0.3 (testing it out), the browser is now automatically accepting cookies from youtube.com, despite the fact that I have changed none of my cookie settings, and that cookies from the domain are expressly blocked. If I remove the listing from Exceptions to see the cookie prompt again, I tick remember and deny and cookies are blocked ... until the next reload of the browser, where it will again accept cookies from youtube.

Have you checked what you are clearing upon browser shutdown.?.privacy settings.

I don't have my browser set to automatically clear anything on close. I have changed no settings from the last 26x version.

I think I've figured it out.

Looking at the cookie that keeps appearing, I noted it is named .youtube.com which struck me as odd. Note the leading dot. It is not a youtube cookie. Youtube cookies are merely set as youtube.com. I've been trying out an addon, Youtube HD, and so I removed it - no more .youtube.com cookies. Really annoying that an addon adds cookies which completely ignore privacy settings (i.e. circumvent prompting to store).

maybe blocking all cookies and whitelisting sites is an option.
