Dear Theresa,
I suspect the reason you want to store session cookies is because you
like the convenience of not having to login every time. I do not like
this either.
A much better solution that doesn't involve giving yourself a unique
fingerprint would be to store your passwords in a password manager.
KeepassX is the one that you should use. Password managers make storing
strong passwords easy and you just copy-paste them into the web
browser.
It is good practice to use a password manager in general because it
stops the compromise of one service from compromising your other
accounts.
Best of luck,
Duncan

Dear Tor community,
I'm exploring using TBB as my main browser.
However, there's one thing that I'd like to find a solution to -
namely
being able to use "New Identity" while having a white list of domains
where "New Identity" would not erase cookies.
In other words, I'd like to be able to look like a new user to 99,99%
of
the Internet, while still retain session cookies of 3-5 trusted
domains.
I've noticed that there's a Cookie Protections dialog if the "private"
browsing mode is disabled (yeah, I know it's risky to change that -
but
I'm just researching options), and within it one can clear all cookies
except "protected" ones - that seemed to be quite close to what I'd
need.
However, I have noticed that if "private" browsing mode is disabled,
"New Identity" doesn't actually clear any cookies anymore. It seems to
depend on "private" browsing mode being enabled in TBB to clear
cookies.
So, do you use TBB as your main browser, and if so, what approach(es)
do
you take regarding "trusted" sites? Do you relogin each time you do a
New Identity?
best,
theresa.
