Not a big deal, but I notice that even if I check the "keep me logged in" box
when I log in, I can't stay logged in to Bricklink for more than a few hours,
perhaps a day at most.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!

Make sure "preferences" are set to on. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/cookies.page

Ah - that makes sense. I probably rejected "tracking cookies." I had assumed
that "essential" cookies included log-in persistence, but upon reflection it
makes sense that I'd also need to accept tracking cookies. Thanks very much!

Not tracking, preference.

BrickLink follows the rules of EU’s GDPR (simpler to follow the more stringent
rules for everybody than to have different rules, especially when people can
compare and complain ).

Therefore the 4 kinds of cookies are clearly defined:
Necessary,
Preference,
Statistics,
Adds.

You can look at the list of cookies set for each section.

And the four first ones for Preference cookies are for auto-login.

What can be considered tracking are, obviously, the Statistics and Adds cookies,
and those you can refuse without hindering any function of the site.
