Hi
I found this question on the Brave Community forum. I was wondering if this is also possible on Android, and if so, how?
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 brave seems to lack this most basic of privacy features. Selecting cookies from the “On Exit” tab just trashes everything. I’d like to maintain my few required cookies, but I cannot figure out how that i…
Settings, Shields, Forget me when I close this site (Turn it ON). Now every websites cookies are deleted and you press shields in address bar and uncheck Forget me when I close this site for every site you want to stay logged. Easy!

## 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":
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
