SUMMARY
After the latest update (end of July to early August) any stored cookies always
disappear when Falkon is closed, i. e. no cookies remain stored between
sessions.

I have tried to re-install Falkon and tested the issue with the default browser
settings - the result was the same.

Browsing history and cache is not affected - those remain stored between the
sessions.

Falkon downloaded from snap-store. I have NOT tested the variant from system
repositories.
Version displayed in terminal is 24.05.2, but in 'Menu > About Falkon' it says
"Application version 24.11.70 (f8f39e397)"

Tested on two OS:
1. virtual machine Xubuntu 22.04 
2. virtual machine Xubuntu 24.04 - this VM is installed on a different physical
hardware than the first VM

Before the above mentioned update, it all worked fine on the both machines.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. visit any website that saves cookies to your machine
2. close Falkon (snap-store version)
3. re-open Falkon and check the stored cookies

OBSERVED RESULT
all the cookies disappear when Falkon is restarted

EXPECTED RESULT
cookies are being kept when Falkon is restarted

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Xubuntu 22.04
Xubuntu 24.04
snapd and snap-store always kept up-to-date, currently:
snapd                        2.63             21759  latest/stable
snap-store                0+git.e3dd562            1173   latest/stable/...
