Ever since I started using arch (and google-chrome-stable), I find that Chrome quickly forgets cookies and login sessions, so I have to re-login to many sites several times a day.
It is unrelated to upgrading Chrome, or even rebooting.
Unfortunately it's very unpredictable, sometimes it seems to lose cookies after an hour or two, and other times after a day or two. It is not due to the site setting a short cookie expiry, since it affects github, Amazon etc
A week or two ago I added --password-store=gnome
to ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf, as I saw someone suggest it as a solution, but it hasn't made a difference.
Any tips on how I can fix or at least troubleshoot this? Im using awesomewm as my WM, with xfce desktop, and a few basic gnome services running.

When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.
You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:
Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.
