By allowing Streak access to your cookies, you are granting Streak the ability to remember that you have already logged into your account. With third-party cookies enabled, Streak will not have to ask for permission each time you log into Gmail.
If you use any browser extensions that block cookies from being set such as: ad blockers, Privacy Badger, and/or Ghostery, then you will likely not be able to load Streak.
If your browser doesn't allow cookies to be set or clears out your cookies after closing your browsing session, too, then you will have to re-authorize and login to the Streak extension every time you load Gmail.
