Chrome "bug" collects and keeps data

Even when configured to delete all cookies, site data, etc. upon exiting Chrome, it still keeps the data for Google searches and Youtube, while deleting the data from the competitors. Read more...

A suggested work-around:

1. Open Chrome and click the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner of your browser window.
2. Click Settings, followed by Privacy and Security from the left-hand sidebar.
3. Click Cookies and other site data and scroll to the bottom of the menu until you reach Sites that can never use cookies.
4. Click Add and enter Google.com. Click the checkbox next to Including third-party cookies on this site. Click Add to save these settings.
5. Repeat step #4 for YouTube.com
6. NOTE: You may have to log into Google and Youtube every time you visit, if necessary.

You could also stop using Chrome, but who knows if other browsers are doing the same thing for their "preferred" websites?
