Description of the issue:
I would like to be able to clear all cookies automatically on exit EXCEPT for a specific list of cookies that I would like keep (that is, survive the exit and be available for next Brave session after exit). How can I do this in Brave?
Brave Version( check About Brave):
You can’t do that as of the moment, but there is an open Github ticket that aims to push for such a feature in the future.

## 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

@jeffsklar ,
This feature request was made long ago and still nothing. It’s shameful how basic Chromium features have been neglected. Most energy goes to Brave Ads and bloated features that most users don’t want or make use of.
