Some settings are stored in a cookie. If that cookie is deleted, the settings are lost and the site will ask for them again.

Check in the settings of your browser to see if it's deleting them when it's closed. Firefox, for example, has a setting labeled "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" on the Privacy & Security tab, under Cookies and Site Data.

Security programs like Norton also often have settings either blocking them or deleting them periodically or when the browser is closed.
