At the bottom of the library pages is a link to "cookie settings." Unfortunately, clicking on it causes the page to refresh right after opening the modal so I can't see what the options are.

No cookie setting on their webpage will keep you logged in. I am allowing all their cookies, yet I am still logged out.

I changed the expiration date and I also changed to Secure and httpOnly. I did this for all cookies expiring today. It seems to be working.

p.s. - Interesting that I have cookies being created by Google and Doubleclick on the Overdrive webpage - my web browser settings are to always block 3rd party cookies. Interesting, ... interesting indeed! Last edited by haertig; 12-06-2022 at 05:43 PM. Reason: Added p.s. |

I use Privacy Badger, which does a pretty good job of nuking the trackers.

No Time Out on Android Phone
I have been seeing the sign in constant time out for two days now. When I access my libraries overdrive sites on my android phone, I do not get timed out. Tried Privacy Badger but did not work on my desktop Chrome.

I've started to use multiple libraries this year and keep having issues with Libby. No matter what I do, accounts do not sync across multiple devices. It used to be when I searched a book it showed different options at multiple libraries, although a bit tediously, but now it will only show the results of which library I have open without other options.
With Overdrive I previously mainly just used on web browsers, but I cannot get an account to list all my libraries under sign in with email for two years. Every time I have tried it asks me to verify email, never sends the email, and will not remember account information. Only option I can sign in is using a library card, but it won't let me collect all in one account Yes, they are glitchy and hopefully both keep improving. Also had a library card need re-verification recently on Libby for some reason, but it kept giving me an error when trying. Thankfully that resolved itself, think it was something with the library being down Fortunately the borrowing part works fine |

In the old days, you used to be able to get by blocking all Javascript. But these days, most websites will not function without their Javascript. So the issue have become, "selectively block some Javascript". Easier said than done once you look and see all the Javascript from various places that most websites use. Overdrive is not too bad when it comes to loading Javascript from different websites, but it does load a bunch of scripts from Google. Quote:

Just came to check after being logged out multiple times yesterday and today. Sad it is happening, but glad it is not just me.

I've sorted the problem. The add-on Cookie Manager for Firefox allows me to change the cookie expiration dates and thus, the cookies are not expiring in 10 minutes.
