Thanks for the reply. I think I misunderstood your suggestion regarding the change of country/region. I thought you were referring to country/region setting at Windows level rather than settings at Edge . Thanks for clearing up. That'll work too.
Hi, do you just mean to change the language of the start page?
You can change the country and region, then you will receive information in the selected language, e.g. German?
HI Andrzej1,
Thanks for your feedback. As for changing country/region, it's not a viable solution as it can cause other issues elsewhere. In the meantime, I experimented a bit and it turns out that if you clear cookies upon exit, everything goes back to default. I disable the cookie clearing and this time, upon re-opening or re-launching the language selection was kept. So must not clear cookies upon exit! But this poses a problem in the sense that ALL cookies from ALL different sites remain intact! And that is not what I want.
However, there is a possibility to provide an exception list of URL's for site(s) that you want untouched and keep their cookies, and then, delete other cookies. I'd like to keep cookies for EDGE but I simply cannot figure out the URL for Edge!
