    Description

      When blocking third party cookies via QWebEngineCookieStore::setCookieFilter() cookies are not included on requests sent to a page when navigating back to it from an error page.

      Here's a patch for simplebrowser to reproduce:

           auto profile = !offTheRecord ? m_profile.get() : QWebEngineProfile::defaultProfile();

      +    });
           auto mainWindow = new BrowserWindow(this, profile, false);
           m_windows.append(mainWindow);
           QObject::connect(mainWindow, &QObject::destroyed, [this, mainWindow]() {
      

      And here is a test HTML file:

      <script>
      var showcookie = function () {
        document.querySelector('#cookievalue').innerText = document.cookie
      }
      var setcookie = function () {
        document.cookie = 'testvalue=set'
        showcookie()
      }
      </script>
      
      <p>Cookie value: <span id='cookievalue'></span></p>
      </br>
      
      <a href='#' onclick='setcookie()'>Set cookie (for use on first page load)</a>
      </br>
      
      <a href='https://invalid.8d743110-855b-4e7c-8a98-80a0179a8d16.com/'>Follow bad link</a>
      </br>
      
      <script>
      showcookie()
      </script>
      

      The log is like this:

      # press "Set cookie" button on test site

      requesting  "chrome-error://chromewebdata/"  from  "http://0.0.0.0:7864/bad_link_and_cookies.html#"  thirdParty = true
      

      Note that last request, if I put if (request.firstPartyUrl.scheme() == "chrome-error") return true; at the top of the filter method that makes things work as expected. But that doesn't seem like something I should be doing.
      So I suppose the problem isn't that cookies aren't being sent but that the cooker filter seems to get called an extra time?
