But than I goes to other site with the same browser, the kept me log in all the time, even with facebook log in on other site works, but not oxwall


I am using default chrome settings, If I have to change my settings, other needs to as well


so I think the plug-in should improve not the user should change, else what is the point of web site

Hi Kevin, PMed you back.

What do your users get ? Do they receive blank white or 500phtml page?

Update for those facing similar issue:

Within our script, cookies are set to expire when the browser session ends. That is how the software was originally designed. And it is up to the user to choose when this "end" comes in his browser's settings.
Here are Chrome's settings (settings>>privacy>>content settings). "Allow local data to be set"- is usually checked by default and  means that even if your close the browser, cookies will not be lost.



Most likely 9gag and some other sites you are using were developed in another way.
Each browser has different default settings.
At this moment we are not planning to change the way script works with regards to cookies.
But will keep this in mind for future updates.
