Due to an EU ruling websites must ask for consent to send you cookies, some sites find it easier to send these alerts to everybody rather than just people who live in the EU.

Hi,
Oh that's interesting about asking to send/ install cookies :)
Could also be security related do you scan every 5 days some security suites do delete cookies after a full or scheduled scan.
You don't show what you use for security in your system spec's.
