Safari 15 keeps logging me out of several sites every week or so

I've increased "remove history items" to 1 month - no luck

I've disabled all extensions - no luck


Still there are some sites which keep me logged in, but google.com, youtube.com, facebook.com, ebay.com - they are all throwing me out every week.


Other browsers doesn't do that.

Safari 14 didn't do that.


Am I alone with this porblem?

I may just be lucky, but after nearing a year of this problem I followed the first two steps in this post on the developer forums explaining how the user there fixed it by:

Resetting all experiments: Develop -> Experimental Features -> Reset all to defaults
Re-enabling Safari -> Preferences -> Privacy -> enable "Prevent cross site tracking" + enable "Allow privacy-preserving measurements of ad effectiveness" (I suspect this is the issue but not sure)

I initially had several sites log out once, but I haven't experienced any further unexpected logouts in over a week, even when using the console/inspector. I hope I didn't just jinx myself 🤞


I'm running Safari 16.1 on Ventura 13.0 and a 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7.

„prevent cross-site tracking“ doesn't help for sure.


Still, the problem is a weird one.

I had a whole week without being logged out.

Then several one by one within one day.

Emptied the cookies, got another logout after hour or two.


Maybe I'm paranoid, but It looks like someone "commands" safari to logout from outside...

October? Its crazy to know it was that long. I'm lucky I haven't experienced it before as I've just updated my Macbook to Monterey last week. I'm definitely moving to Brave now, getting logged out from everywhere several times per day is more than annoying. The only thing I'll miss is Keychain but I guess I could sync it manually to Brave.

It’s unbelievable that this is still an issue. I get signed out of everything on Safari. I try putting these updates off as long as possible because it seems that they just mess things up more when I do them. It is annoying when you hit “keep me signed in” only to have to sign in again. And it is every site, every time.

Hey APPLE if you claim that IOS is so secure and practically un-‘hackable’ then why does your system have to sign us out every time. Shouldn’t we be secure enough to stay signed in?!?!?!
