Automatic Login with Google Chrome (Updated June 2025)
Are you being asked to log in every time you open Symbaloo in Chrome? The most common cause is a cookie or privacy setting preventing Symbaloo from saving the “Stay logged in” session cookie. Follow the steps below to restore automatic login.
1 · Check Your Cookie Settings
- Open Chrome › Settings › Privacy & security › Third‑party cookies.
- Choose “Allow third‑party cookies” or “Block third‑party cookies in Incognito”.
(Some school‑managed Chromebooks force stricter policies. If the option is greyed out, contact your IT admin.) - Scroll to “Sites that can always use cookies” and click Add. Enter each domain on a new line:
[*.]symbaloo.com
[*.]accounts.symbaloo.com
Tick “Including third‑party cookies on this site” for both. - Confirm Symbaloo is not listed under “Sites that can never use cookies.”
2 · Disable “Clear Cookies on Exit”
If Chrome is set to erase cookies when it closes, your session cannot be restored.
- In Settings › Privacy & security › Site settings › View permissions and data stored across sites (or search “clear cookies on exit”), ensure the toggle is off.
- Ad‑blockers, anti‑tracking extensions, or antivirus privacy modules can silently block cookies. Temporarily disable them or whitelist
symbaloo.com. - Incognito windows always block third‑party cookies by default. Use a normal tab for automatic login.
4 · Log In Once More
- Visit https://www.symbaloo.com/login.
- Enter your credentials and tick “Stay logged in.”
- Close all Chrome windows and reopen Chrome. You should be signed in automatically.
Troubleshooting Checklist
- Clear only Symbaloo cookies: Settings › Privacy & security › Third‑party cookies › See all site data › delete
symbaloo.com, then log in again. - Profile Sync: Ensure Chrome Sync is on for “Cookies” and “Settings” if you want auto‑login to work across devices.
- Managed devices: School or enterprise policies can override local settings. Ask your administrator to allow cookies for Symbaloo.
