Customized behavior still clears every time I close and restart the Brave Browser

While original opened for “on exit” function, I think this issue also applies in your case as well:

[Desktop] Allow users to add site exceptions for data that is cleared "on exit"

opened 09:47PM - 26 Jun 20 UTC

## Description As it is now, any data type that is checked in the `Clear browsing data --> [On exit]` will have _all data_ of that type removed upon closing the browser. While this is the intended function, we should implement a function similar to what Microsoft Edge does, where site exceptions can be added to a "Do not clear" list. Data on this list is ignored when the browser runs "clear on exit": ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3299098/85903585-82d53680-b7bb-11ea-8677-61d71c6d3792.png) This would help users maintain login data for sites they regularly visit and not have to re-authenticate every time data is erased. Additionally, this helps with support, since clearing browsing data often resolves issues with bad cache data -- having the ability to suggest users do this, but without sacrificing specific data they know they want would be very useful and appreciated by users ## Miscellaneous Information: Original thread that bought this to my attention (again): https://community.brave.com/t/delete-all-cookies-on-exit-except-allowed-list/137872/5

Let me ping some devs and see if we can get more eyes on this.
