I'm experiencing the same behavior... The problem is that I didn't figure yet how to reproduce it. If someone manages to reproduce the bug consistently, please describe the procedure here, I would be happy to fix it and create I pull request.

I've noticed on firefox and ungoogled chromium if I right click highlighted text and hit "Search Whoogle for x" it resets all the settings I set on the main page. It also adds '&cookies_disabled=1' in the new search query when I do that. I've added cookie delete exceptions etc. Not sure if my setup is correct but that's how I can replicate.

I am also experiencing this on my local instance of Whoogle from the AUR. The page loads fine for me without the cookies_disabled flag, but if I click on my whoogle link on my personal html startpage, it redirects me to http://localhost:5000/?cookies_disabled=1, even though the link that should be opened is just http://localhost:5000/

Are you configuring your instance with the configuration box at the bottom of the home page?

I believe this should be fixed as of f5d599e7d2 (included in v0.7.3), which addressed https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/749. From a bit of testing, this doesn't seem to be an issue with the latest versions since that fix, but please feel free open a new issue if the issue persists for any of you.
