Why would I want to enable "keep me logged in" ?

What is good or bad about enabling "keep me logged in"?

When you visit a website, we are also visiting YOU :)

What we collect is data including your browser, your browser add-ons, your display, other software you may have installed, other tracking cookies besides our own, sites you have visited and the frequency of your visits plus the content you pursued, what you moused over, performance of our web templates and assorted other scripts running on our page -- and endless cache of information that can be used to narrow you down to One or Two people in the entire weberverse for targeted advertising we later resell to 3rd parties!

That's the business model of most companies, a free app isn't free, and YOU are the product and so is the content you allowed access to.   If you don't believe me, read a privacy policy.

Always keep that in mind.

It doesn't work anyway so I wouldn't worry about it .

I check the boxes to keep me signed in and don't ask again in this browser , though I find myself having to go through the same process over and over again !   
Additionally , as of yesterday , after all of of that , I get a blue screen with an Xfinity Connect sign in , then " A required service … … (SRV-0001)  .

 I'm usually on my iPad , so when I need to retrieve the code , I have to turn on my iPhone . 
If I select email the code instead , I can't sign in to get it !

 The worst part is that I can't even find a human chat  , the automated assistant is useless because the choices aren't my problem .  In " About Us"  there isn't a contact us option .

Submit feedback takes you to a third party site = collect.iperceptions.com  in Canada ❗️

My patience has expired , I'm telling my contacts to use my iCloud email and putting together a file on Comcast / Xfinity for the Federal Communications Commission  .

My cable TV is $300.00 / month , I feel like I deserve better email treatment after 14 years , it used to be okay , but not anymore . 🤬

Besides leaking personal information, leaking an active login information or using a credit card and then browsing to another web site is always a bad idea. 

Decades of security vulnerabilities, have demonstrated it is possible to glean entered password and credit card information from a browser session, private tab or not, and these exploits still pop up every few months even to this day.  It's why you see frequent updates for web browsers.

General rule to keep you out of trouble?  If you do enter information in a browser, close the browser after you are finished with the site, and spawn another one before navigating to somewhere else.

As far as not working, you may be blocking the cookie they leave behind in your browser cache.  Check the web browsers security settings.
