Description of the issue: I log into approximately 3 sites on a daily basis but I end up collecting probably hundreds of cookies for crap I’ve visited. How can I configure brave to delete ALL cookies, except those on the allowed list? I seem to have to use Cookie Auto Delete extension because bra…

@code , Oops – thats my bad. I did open the feature request I just didn’t return here to link you to it. Sorry about that. The issue can be found here: [Desktop] Allow users to add site exceptions for data that is cleared "on exit" opened…
