  I want some of them to stay though, it wouldn’t be a huge hassle to not have them, but I’m a bit lazy…

    I wish there was an option to clear third-party cookies automatically

      Advertisers get around that by masquerading their cookies to appear not third party.

        I’m not aware of this. Can you elaborate?

      Firefox’s total cookie protrction is excelent. Basically cookies are sandboxed into site spesific boxes. So ie a facebook cookie can not be read by the favcebook script on another site. Only on the site that set the original cookie.

      I’m not aware of that specifically, but LibreWolf by default blocks all cookies and allows you to set specific sites which can store cookies, very easily, using a sitr whitelist.

      This combined with ublock origin should improve your privacy a lot without sacrificing any usability at all.

      Sites often use different domains for things so they might be difficult to differentiate reliably

    under settings,privacy and security, under cookies and site data (just above the “Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox” box) there’s “manage exceptions” that will exclude your favorites from getting erased every time.

      Yeah, this is what I do. Only wish mobile had the option.

    I just press ctrl+i and add the website as an exception :P

    The firefox extension “forget me not” allows you to fully control which cookies are retained, which are deleted, and how/when. It’s easy to customize individual sites on the fly. And it’s open source!

    Pretty sure there is an “Allow” exception that you can use to keep cookies for the sites you want.

    (I think you) click on the shield in the URL bar, and a small window comes, which should have a small toggle that says “Keep cookies and site data”.

  Cookie autodelete has whitelists, optionally different per container.
