I recently had a problem logging on to My 2D (the logon reverted back to the logon screen with a 'your session has timed out' error message).  I tried Firefox and said logon worked.  The solution in Edge was to clear cache (Settings/Privacy Search and Services/clear browsing data) but there is no ability to limit this to items from a particular URL (such as My 2D).  Using this logged me out of everything (including Geekzone).  This is not a biggie but I wondered if I could limit the extent of what is cleared so as to allow unaffected URLs to retain cookies etc.

Keep cookies if you don't want to be logged out, clear everything else.

I believe it's the cookies that cause the login loop. Had a similar experience with AWS AppStream. This login loop happened when people didn't log out but closed the browser over & over again.
