If they hadn't perma-stored the cookies, we'd all be pointing out how stupid it is that clearing your cookies logs you out of the browser. This would be clear evidence of what a stupid idea it is to match browser sign-in state to your cookies.
There'd probably be a blog post about how Chrome 70 will automatically create fresh Google cookies to keep you logged in to the browser after you delete them.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic and there's no real-world difference, but I'm a little more okay with the browser creating new cookies whenever they're cleared vs not clearing cookies when asked. Not entirely okay with it, mind you. Especially since browser logins are now two-way.
- daveFNbuck 8y agoI thought that's what was happening. Maybe that was just when you delete individual Google cookies.
- reificator 8y agoCould be. Like I said there's not much functional difference, but one is more palatable somehow. IMO.

- daveFNbuck 8y agoAgreed. My point is that there's no good cookie retention policy under this design.
