New feature: change language and Locale of the NTP contents Version 81.0.387
HotCakeX I noticed MS store the language configuration as cookie. Because I always delete my cookies, I have to config the language every time I start edge.
Any suggestion to that (except not to delete cookies)?

Sorry I couldn't understand you very well
about the cookies, there will soon be an option in Edge canary (and later in other channels) that will let you mark some cookies so that when you delete all cookies, they won't be deleted. if that's what you mean
I think that is an option, but not the best one.
I explain the problem a little differently.
If I change the language to german on the new-tab page in the image above (your first post), this language setting is stored until I delete my cookies. After I delete my cookies, the new-tab page changed back english.
I think there should be a configurable option in the settings where you can set the language of the new-tab page. Or have I missed something?- no you're right, i understand now,
I think either by default Edge should separate New Tab Page cookies from the rest of the cookies so "delete all cookies" won't touch them.
or better yet, don't use cookies at all for the language settings in the NTP, just like any normal settings in Edge, don't rely on cookies.
there are plenty options in here:
edge://settings/profiles
like sync, Edge theme, zoom level etc, none of them are reset when cookies are deleted, NTP language setting should operate like that too.
