Description Leszek Lesner 2012-07-15 12:19:28 UTC

When I was logged into google and even when I close the browser and start it newly and choose private browsing. Going to google automatically logs me in. 
So the cookies in private browsing mode are loaded from my normal browsing session.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load and login to google or any other site storing cookies
2. Go to private browsing mode and go to the same site

Actual Results:  
It loads the same cookies

Expected Results:  
It should not load the cookies from my normal browsing session and should store cookies if necessary in a dummy file which gets deleted after private browsing mode is turned off.

I'm sorry I fear this problem comes from kdelibs. We probably won't be able to fix until kde 5.0

Comment 2 Leszek Lesner 2012-07-29 10:37:19 UTC

Hmm... what if you disable cookies completely (there is a setting for this) when ever private mode is activated ?
It would prevent loading the old cookies. The downside would be that new cookies would not be able to be stored even not temporary. But its definitely a better solution than now.

"Workaround" cookie management in private browsing mode

>From the note in webpage file:
I'm sorry I really cannot let KIO work as needed in private browsing
mode. The problem is basically cookie related. This way we lose some
features in private browsing mode, but we ensure PRIVACY!

This change cannot be reverted until a proper fix for KIO
(or the right workaround for rekonq) will be found.
