Hello r2plips,

You need to have cookies enabled in your web browser. Please check your browser settings to enable them. No one else has reported this issue, so I suspect it is an issue on your end.

Hey Guys!
I also face the same problem and do not stay logged in for more than 3 or 4 hours on my pc, using the browsers Firefox and Chrome.

One more thing, I sometimes use my mobile's Opera Mini v3 to access this site and if I log in then I only stay logged in continuously if use the site within every 2 hours of last use. I do not face the same problem with other sites such as Facebook and stay logged in for days and weeks.

This no a very big issue so that's why I never reported it, but now that it has been brought up I thought I should also comment on it.
Regards,

Hello all,

The GT cookies set on "remember me" seem to be set to expire in one month. I have been logged in for over three days in Google Chrome without being logged out. I have also had the same experience on my smartphone.

As a general reminder to stay logged in, you should not clear any temporary data through the browser (including settings that clear them when you close your browser) or extra tools like CCleaner. You can also try adding an exception for gametracker cookies in your browser. This will also help determine if it is an issue on your end.

In Chrome, please make sure in Settings -> Privacy -> [Content Settings] button, your cookies are set to "Allow local data to be set." You should not have "Block third-party cookies and site data" or "Clear cookies and other site and plug-in data when I close my browser" checked.

In Internet Explorer, please make sure in Internet Options -> Privacy your settings are as low as you can. The more restrictive, the greater the chance you will have cookie issues. You should also not have the option selected to delete browser cache on exit.

In Firefox, open Options -> Privacy and make sure you have Remember History selected and/or Accept Cookies From Sites / Accept Third Party Cookies.

I will try to use other browsers to see if it is possible to replicate this issue. If you continue to have problems after you checked out all of these topics fully, please consider posting your browser and the version of it.

Hello again,

I may have been able to replicate this by resetting my router. Are you guys cycling through IP's? You can monitor how your IP's are changing by checking www.whatismyip.com a few times per day and/or when you use the site.
