According to Danish internet legislation, you are always prompted to accept or decline cookies whenever you visit a website. These cookies may be from the website itself, or they may be third party cookies.

Normally my Firefox browser is set to 'Never remember history' in the privacy options, but what happens if I accept cookies from a website during private browsing, or simply with the privacy options set to 'Never remember history' ?

Will the Firefox browser then save cookies ?

Thank you in advance

Yes. Cookie exceptions should work in Private Browsing mode just like in normal mode and you should be able to create an allow or block exception that persists.

You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
  • Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
  • Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

Note that you won't be able to view (inspect) cookies in the Cookie Manager while in PB mode.
