Opera Browser History Always Cleared.

Hello
No matter what settings I make in the properties of Opera, the history is deleted. Among the options provided, there is no "never." And whether the "delete history" box is checked or not, the deletion happens every time I close the session. I find this very annoying, and it didn't happen in the previous version! Sometimes I need my history to find certain addresses! How can I change this? Thank you for your help.

Hello,

If you use cleaning software like CCleaner, the history is deleted.

You can manage your privacy and security settings in the Opera options.

- Go to the Menu located at the top left, then click on Settings.
- Go to Advanced, then → Privacy & Security

In the Privacy and security section (right window):
- Go to → Content settings
- Go to → Cookies

Check or highlight the following:
- Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended)
- Keep local data only until I quit my browsing session


Uncheck:
- Block third-party cookies


Give it a try:
Log in to your favorite sites.
Close the tabs.
Close Opera.
Restart Opera.
Go to the Menu, then → History.

Make sure you have version Opera 58.0.3135.65
Menu → Help → About Opera.

See you!

Hello and thank you. I've done all that. Today's history is still there, we'll see tomorrow. But as for CCleaner, it's not him because, for years, I've always unchecked the box for clearing history. Moreover, this issue only appeared since the latest version of Opera (58.0.3135.65). Previously, the history complied with my wishes. I'll still note "problem solved" but I'm waiting until tomorrow to be sure! Best regards.

Opera GX doesn't seem to work quite the same way or the time has brought its updates,
I can disable cookie deletion, but the form validation has two buttons: delete data or cancel, the entire settings system is designed to be totally counterintuitive, it takes talent to create blocks of links that lead to the same pop-up in the purest quality of anti-usability.

It's the cookie settings that you need to put as an exception with CCleaner. (Cookies to keep)
For example, if you want to preserve the history of CCM:


The cookie management in the Opera options is enough to keep your history.

It is still advisable to delete cookies because of the spies hiding behind them.

Hello,
Perhaps due to a cleaning software... Like Ccleaner that cleans at every start or end of session. If so, check the settings or the scheduling.

Hello and thank you for your response, but it's not CCleaner because I actually uncheck the option to clear the history in that program. What is happening now is new since the last version of Opera. Previously, the history adhered to my preferences. Thanks anyway.
