josh_bodner At first, I would have agreed that it could be machine or install specific, but it happens on three different machines using both Canary and Dev. I have only Favorites (which I don't use), Settings, and Collections turned on to sync. I have Passwords, Payment Info, and Addresses and More all turned off. In Clear Browsing Data on Close, everything is selected except the last two, Site Permissions and Hosted App Data. When I opened the browser, I went to the page you listed, and there were 38 cookies still present. I came to the discussion forum to respond and did not have to sign in. I'll close the browser again and come back to see if there is any difference.
I work in Insurance which has to abide by all requirements for the banking industry as well as a few other things. When I close the browser, I basically don't want anything saved. I don't even like that you'll be automatically signed into Office 365 if you're using the same profile on the browser. I want it to ask each and every time to login.
OK, I closed the browser and restarted the computer. I came back to the site and didn't have to login. I went back to the Settings page listed and there were all the same cookies as before including a couple new ones. I checked the options to delete browsing data on close, and it's all still selected as it should be. I'm not sure what else to check at this point.

Russ_Turrentine I'm sorry to hear this is a persistent issue for you. Do you have any extensions installed? Sometimes they also load cookies on start.

ShirleyNg Yes, I have five extensions installed. I will try removing them to see if that helps.
So far that hasn't helped. I've removed the extensions and opened and closed the browser twice. I guess I'll try removing them manually and see if they start sticking around again.
