Edge Collections - Star To Collect - bad idea not to include a remove option
You bring up an interesting option: Deleting cookies when exiting Edge. That would seem to explain the privacy statement prompt and the unwanted direct links. I checked that setting, and, surprisingly, none of the seven options were activated, i.e. nothing is deleted. Nevertheless, your tip got me thinking: for some reason, Edge does not remember my manual changes; that is why these things keep re-appearing. I then decided to log out of my Microsoft account, thereby stopping synchronization to the Cloud. I then once again cleared out my browser cache and checked that the Edge option Personalization and Ads was disabled. Out of frustration, I turned off my notebook and did not turn it on again until the next day. Lo and behold: no privacy statement to confirm and no direct links. Honestly, I still don’t fully understand what happened, but your tip steered me in the right direction. Thanks!
I had tried that in the past too but after a couple of days, the image suggestions appear again. However it is still crazy we have to find workarounds because Microsoft is violating our privacy and not listening to customer complaints. They could remove this frustrating and annoying feature in minutes
