Default Forced Logout

So this site logs me out within a half hour or so of logging in with no activity. Does this on any browser or mobile. Is this something Google is forcing? (Using the google login). Any way around it?

I read through the list of cool stuff you get when you subscribe hoping I would find something that if I paid it wouldn’t log out so quickly and didn’t find anything.

ONE MORE THING.
On an ipad pro 11 the ads/chat window etc are so large and persistent that its hard to get logged in once you get logged out. On a normal PC they are not terrible, just think they are not resizing for the smaller device.

Good job on everything else!

This is due to using a Google sign in, which uses a session-based login like you might have with a bank, etc., and I'm not aware of a workaround. Logins can be either session based or cookie based. If you had a normal account (non-Google or Facebook login) then you could have a cookie based login and practically never get logged out unless you or your browser clears the cookies or you use the Log Out. You can convert your Google sign in to a normal account but I don't think you can easily revert back.

Are you using full desktop view, mobile view, or app? iOS 13 or 13.1? Apple made some changes so it's possible it's due to that. However, please provide a screen capture showing the issue you're describing with difficulty logging in due to the ads/chat window that you're reporting.
