No lie here, just a user who doesn’t understand how cookies work
I routinely engage with Microsoft services for work and generally only get this after clearing browser data.
Edit: To clarify, this is not a case of “works on my machine” - in addition to my own, my work involves hundreds of users’ devices with many different browsers and configurations.
The dialog is effectively a “Remember Me” checkbox, which stores a cookie. Employing extensive use of privacy tools will affect cookies and is antithetical to the concept of having a site remember who you are and will probably mess with that cookie - not that there’s anything wrong with wanting to protect one’s privacy.
My point was mostly that this meme isn’t really a typical experience and that experience is likely the result of something they’ve set up for themselves.
I can sign in to a thing, close the app and instantly get it again. On repeat. I’m not even sure I could clear the cookies in the 20 seconds it takes for it to show up again.
Not in a browser, and Firefox doesn’t do it by default anyway as I’d find it very annoying.
It’s just Microsoft. It doesn’t effect everyone, but it effects a lot of people and Microsoft is just shit. About 20% of the people I work with deal with the same issue of it being required every single time and I bet some of them have never cleared a cookie in their life.
You can easily set a cookie expiration date in 2999. That’s far enough to be indefinite. Then you save the user’s preferences in the database forever to remember when they log in elsewhere.

Browsers can be configured to clear cookies on close
Browsers that market themselves for “privacy” probably do it by default

i used teams for years for school… and it gept poppin up… used default firefox back then.
Privacy oriented browser purging cookies would make sense
Firefox does not do that by default.
“Enhanced Tracking Protection” is enabled by default in Firefox. This feature blocks certain cookies.
Someone else said it’s a vkahe set by an IT admin. That appears more likely.
