    I use Cookie Autodelete. Doesn’t matter what I choose, it’s getting nuked when I close the tab. Handy to clear out IndexedDB and localStorage too, for sites that only let you read one or two pages before putting up a paywall.

      Does it allow you to select the ones to keep? I’d like to delete everything, but signing into the services every day is annoying as hell, so I’d appreciate a solution to keep the authentication ones.

        Yeah, you can manually whitelist domains (including expressions). I do this for sites where I don’t mind keeping cookies around (like lemmy).

      I’m gonna copy-paste my comment here. Please, don’t install such extensions.

      Cookie extensions

      ❗️Sanitizing in-session is a false sense of privacy. They do nothing for IP tracking. Even Tor Browser does not sanitize in-session e.g. when you request a new circuit. A new ID requires both full sanitizing and a new IP. The same applies to Firefox

      ❗️Cookie extensions can lack APIs or implementation of them to properly sanitize: e.g.

      ⚠️ [last checked Nov 2024], Cookie Auto Delete even instructs it’s users to disable Total Cookie Protection - ⚠️ DO NOT DO THIS ⚠️

      As of Firefox 86, strict mode is not supported at this time due to missing APIs to handle the Total Cookie Protection [… followed by instructions]
