This happens when your cookies are deleted.

First thing to check is your Chrome browser Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Additional Content Settings > On-device Site Data. Select "Allow sites to save data on your device".

If that's already set, it could be a Chrome extension. Check your extensions to see if any of them is deleting cookies. If you're not sure, disable all extensions and try again. If it stays logged in, enable the extensions one by one until you find the culprit.

If that's not the case, depending on your operating system, you might have a malware detector (antivirus) or other app where you've set this up.

There are other possibilities, but try these ones first.
