Lol, so I was logged in earlier today on my phone, then later on my iPad. When I tried to log on on my phone after that I had re-enter my credentials

And are these Apple devices? Are these android? Are you using Chrome? Firefox? Something else? Is this the first time? Every time?

OK... I've been keeping tabs on any logging out and cookie messages.

For reference, I logged out and then in on both Safari and Chrome on the 3rd July. Although I don't primarily use Chrome, I've been checking in with it regularly and it hasn't logged me out or asked for cookies since that initial login. Safari on the other hand:

Logged out: 4th, 7th, 15th, 22nd, 27th
Cookie confirmation: 9th, 16th, 23rd

So they seem unconnected to each other but both happen regularly - cookies seem to be every 7 days and the logging out happens every 3-7 days.

Since you started this, i've browsed the forum more than anyone and not once on any device had either a logout or a cookie message :)

I don't know what to say really :)

Like I say, coming from the other direction, I've never had any issues with any other sites.

It's not really the biggest problem just a very minor annoyance. Worth knowing though. Also, I didn't keep any notes but I think it's similar on iPhone/Safari too. Maybe just the cookie thing... not sure.

ME neither sorry.. the software doesn't give me anything to differentiate between browsers, or to allow/block/configure different browsers accessing etc..

I'm sure. It's a weird one.
