This page demonstrates how Brave should behave under different storage and shield configurations. This same page can be used to test all six relevant Brave configurations:
{Cross-site cookies blocked, Cookies blocked, Cookies allowed} x {Ephemeral storage on, Ephemeral storage off}
You can change the ephemeral storage setting by
going to brave://flags and toggling the
Enable Ephemeral Storage option. You can set the cookie
blocking setting through shields.
