Google Chrome losing cookies after Ubuntu reboot [closed]

Question

From few days I am experiencing weird issue. When I reboot system or even relogin, then I am logged out on sites on which I was logged or clicked 'remember me'. Problem appears only in Google Chrome (Firefox and opera are working well), for example:

1. log in to stackoverflow
2. log out from system
3. log in to system
4. unlogged on stackoverflow!

I do not know when exactly problem appeared, remember I was executing localStorage.clear(); in console, but I think it should not be connected with this.

I am using latest Ubuntu 16.04, latest Chrome 53.0.2785.101 (64-bit). I also tried reinstalling and using different versions like google-chrome-beta, google-chrome-unstable but without effects.

What can be the problem causing this?

Edit: I asked this question on StackOverflow, because I thought it may be related with localStorage.clear()

Fianlly fixed in 53.0.2785.143: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/fc6f304827896fb27397fc2a27f9f5717eff319c

Answer 1

Exactly same issue since last few days running Chrome 53.0.2785.101 (64-bit) on Centos 7. Since I don't log out from centos I can open and close chrome ad It will keep reading cookies saved but when I logout, at the next login it can't read cookies at all. Uninstalling e completely removing personal chrome settings directory (/home/myuser/.config/google-chrome/ )didn't solve.

I made another test: saved new cookies in a chrome session, closed the browser, moved away the file /home/myuser/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies, opened again the browser and, as expected, it couldn't find previously saved cookies. After restoring the file in its original path, chrome read the saved cookies again. After logoff-logon from Centos, no cookies again, but the file is still there and unchanged.
