under private browsing, browsing history, cookies and etc will be deleted after private browsing is over.

however, for settings of privacy we can set private browsing as default. there are still some options below that we can choose to accept cookies from sites. does it make any sense? cookies are going to be deleted anyway after private browsing is over.

can anyone expain this to me?

appreciate it!

Those settings are just there for those people who don't have Private Browsing as Default. Is there a specific problem you are having or just a question?

more options

for personal setting, we can choose whether or not to open private browsing all the time

if we do not set private browsing as default, we can choose to remember browsing history, save cookies and etc. so we can use all options below

but when we set private browsing as default, the only options left are about accepting cookies. that is why i feel confused. what does it actually do?

Cookies in Private Browsing work just like in normal mode, so you can still set allow and block exceptions for domains and disable third-party cookies.
Only cookies aren't saved to disk in cookies.sqlite and they expire if you end the Private Browsing session, so all cookies are effectively session cookies.
