Manage cookies in pages

Cookies are small data files that store information in connection with a website. For example, a cookie may be created to store the contents of a shopping basket or to confirm that you are logged in as you browse the pages of a site.

Cookies can also be used to construct a profile of your browsing habits and are therefore regarded by some as a privacy issue. Setting cookie preferences gives you control of how Opera handles them. The default setting is to accept all cookies. To set your cookie preferences:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
  3. Under Privacy and security, click Site settings.
  4. Click Cookies and site data.
  5. At the top, turn on or off Allow sites to save and read cookie data (recommended).

There are two additional options for handling cookies:

  • Clear cookies and site data when you quit Opera – Deletes cookies that have been added after this preference was enabled when closing the browser.
  • Block third-party cookies – Blocks cookies set by other websites whose content is displayed in frames or images on the current website you are visiting. Blocking third-party cookies will allow only the cookies for the site you are visiting to be set on your system.

Click the Add button next to the Block, Clear on exit, or Allow sections to set site-specific cookie preferences for websites.

Type [*.] before the domain name to create an exception for an entire domain name. Creating an [*.]opera.com cookie exception will apply to pages such as blogs.opera.com and addons.opera.com. IP addresses can also be added as exceptions.

Manage how links are handled

For example, you can set Opera to open ical: links in Google Calendar’s web app or force mailto: links to open in your email web app. To allow or not allow sites to ask to be the default handlers of specific types of links:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.

Manage JavaScript in pages

JavaScript is a scripting language used to add functions to pages, such as manipulating browser windows.

Some sites may ask to use your location to provide localized features, such as reviews for nearby shops or coupons from businesses located in your area. To do this, these sites may ask you to allow geolocation on the page. You can choose whether or not to share your location when browsing. Opera will not share this information without your permission.

Setting location sharing preferences gives you control over how sites access your location. By default, Opera asks you if you’d like to share your location the first time you visit a site that requests it. You can choose to allow or deny access to your location, and Opera will remember your choice for future visits to that site. To manage your location sharing preferences:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
  3. Under Privacy and security, click Site settings.

Manage microphone access in pages

Some sites and web apps may ask to access your computer’s microphone. For example, a live-chat app may want to use your mic so you can speak to another person through their service.

By default, Opera will always ask you to allow a site to access your microphone. Opera will remember your sharing choice if the site is secured through an HTTPS connection. To manage sites’ access to your microphone:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
  3. Under Privacy and security, click Site settings.
  4. Click Microphone.
  5. At the top, turn on or off Ask before accessing (recommended).

You can also set which microphone you wish Opera to use by default, if you have more than one connected to your computer. Use the dropdown menus to set your microphone preferences.

Manage MIDI access in pages

If you connect a musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) device to your computer, such as a keyboard or controller, some sites and web apps may ask to have exclusive access to the device. For example, a developer may make a new synthesizer available on the web that you can use with your keyboard.

When the site has exclusive access, other apps (both on the web and on your computer) may fail to receive output from your device.

By default, Opera will always ask you to allow a site to have exclusive access your MIDI device. Opera will remember your sharing choice if the site is secured through an HTTPS connection. To always allow or deny sites’ exclusive access to your MIDI devices:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
  3. Under Privacy and security, click Site settings.
  4. Click MIDI devices.
  5. At the top, turn on or off Ask when a site wants to use system exclusive messages to access MIDI devices (recommended).

Manage desktop notifications

Desktop notifications allow websites and apps to display information about their service’s activities or status. These notifications display on your computer’s desktop even when the browser is minimized. They can alert you to things like new emails, special coupon offers, or if comments are posted to your blog.

You can control how sites deliver notifications. By default, Opera asks you if you’d like a site to notify you. You can choose to allow or deny the site to display notifications, and Opera will remember your choice for future visits to that site. To manage desktop notifications:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
  3. Under Privacy and security, click Site settings.
  4. Click Notifications.
  5. At the top, turn on or off Ask before sending (recommended).

Click the Add button to set site-specific preferences.

Manage saved passwords

When you log into a website, Opera gives you the option to save your password. If you click Never, that site will be added to Opera’s never saved list. By default, Opera will offer to save your passwords. To disable this offering:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
  3. Under Autofill, click Passwords.

If Opera crashes

There are a few steps you can take to help restore your Opera browser to working order. Even if the steps here help you, sending Opera a crashlog report, including details of what you were doing when Opera froze, helps us fix future browsers. This way we can help others that may experience the same problem.

If Opera crashes, a dialog displays and asks if you want to send a report about the problem. The report includes technical details of the crash and any relevant comments you wish to include. This information helps make Opera even more stable and reliable. Provide some details about what you were doing with the browser when it crashed into the text field, then click Send Report.

If restarting the browser application does not solve the problem, you may want to download and install a clean version. We recommend that you back up your Opera files before clean installing.

To clean install Opera:

  1. Uninstall the Opera application from your computer.
  2. Delete your Opera profile data.
  3. Download the latest version of Opera.
  4. Install your new, clean version.
Opera

If a clean install solves the issue, you can copy over your backed-up files into your new Opera profile. If this causes Opera to crash again, remove your browsing data.

If Opera still crashes, submit a bug report. Compress your Opera profile folder using .zip, .rar, or 7zip, and send it along with your report. If you find the file that made Opera crash, specify this in the bug report.

Note: Opera only uses the files you send to reproduce the issue. You may choose to remove files that contain sensitive data to protect your privacy; however, if removing these files resolves the crash, we will not be able to reproduce it and fix the problem. For more information, see our Privacy Statement.
