Language subdomain gets locked on every site?
there are websites that have separate subdomains for their different language pages and every time i stumble upon the different language subdomain, it gets locked to that different language on every site possible and it has done this since the beginning of the times itself... and it is of course very annoying, because then i have to delete all of the cookies for that site and log in again etc etc etc...
for example: https://www.osta.ee/ https://www.osta.ee/ru
after i visit the /ru language page, it gets locked to that language and the only way to get back to the normal main page is to delete the cookies...
i'm not even sure if it still does that(it did couple of months ago), but i am not going to test it anyway, because i dont want to get locked to the language that i do not understand....
but you can basically test this with any site that has different pages/subdomains for their different languages etc....
and how can this be fixed then

Usually a site that stores location in a cookie rather than forcing it based on IP address will have a language selector somewhere, most commonly at the upper right. (On this forum, it's at the bottom right, which isn't as convenient as the top bar.)
In your example, it is next to the Logo at the upper left.
If the site DOESN'T have a selector, shame on them.
Some websites redirect you automatically via a reverse DNS lookup of your IP address, so if you use a proxy or VPN then your exit node can determine what language you get.
