Description of the issue:
Why is it “Clear Site and Shield Settings” and not two separate options for Site Settings and Shield Settings? I want Shield Settings (strict tracking and fingerprinting resistance specifically) to persist on exit, but do not want site settings to persist.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Set tracking and fingerprinting resistance to Strict
Close Brave
Reopen
Expected result:
Tracking and fingerprinting resistance is set to Strict
Brave Version( check About Brave
):
V1.25.70
Additional Information:
It’s a bug. Global settings shouldn’t be cleared with site settings.

## Description
Clearing "Site and Shields Settings" (**_brave://settings/clear… BrowserData_**) resets Brave's global Shields settings (**_brave://settings/shields_**).
## Steps to Reproduce

## Actual result:
Global Shields settings are reset.
## Expected result:
Clearing "Site and Shields Settings" shouldn't reset Brave's global Shields settings. Clearing browsing data for "Site and Shields Settings" should clear site-specific Shields settings, as explained here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/15319#issuecomment-821273456.
