There is a site for which it is required to add it into white list of "Sites that can always use cookies". Unfortunately every time when I open Opera all entries which I add over there before disappear. So to use this site i must everytime add same thing on every new Opera instance. It's imoprtant for me because it is a site on which i have paid access. Please Opera dev-team, try to repair that.

What specific version of Opera as shown at the URL opera://about?

At the URL opera://settings/cookies, what is the general/global cookie setting set to?

Are you adding sites to the "Sites that can always use cookies" list directly at the URL opera://settings/cookies or are you adding them indirectly by clicking the badge at the left of the address field when on the sites in question and going to "site settings" to allow cookies?

Are you using Opera Sync and syncing your settings?

In Opera 105.0.4970.16 64-bit on Windows 11 22H2, if I set the cookie setting to "Block all cookies (not recommended)" and directly add [*.]google.com to the "Sites that can always use cookies" list (with "Include 3rd party cookies for the site" unchecked for that entry), that [*.]google.com entry remains through a restart of Opera and I remain logged into Google (don't lose any cookies or anything).

Thank You very much for Your tips. You indicated the right places where I should look for the cause. It's all my fault.
First of all I use clear browser data often and I did not noticed that I had checked "Site settings" option on clear browser data dialog. I had no idea it removes even this setting from opera://settings/cookies URL. But it's also good tip about the badge on the left of the address field.

I wonder it is option to exlclude choosen sites from execution of clear browser data option even when all options are checked there. It would be good if even of using it with all options checked it would avoid the clearing data from a defined white list with sites to be excluded.

For now all is correct for me. Thank You for Your help.
