Cookie AutoDelete: Control and Auto-Delete Your Cookies
Cookie AutoDelete is a user-friendly Chrome extension dedicated to providing users greater control over their online data. The tool automatically deletes unwanted site data including cookies, indexedDB, localstorage, etc. from closed tabs. It features Whitelist and Greylist support, where users can specify the sites whose data they wish to preserve permanently (WhiteList) or until the browser is restarted (GreyList). It also supports manual cleaning and allows easy export or import of Whitelist/Greylist configurations. Note that it doesn't clean data automatically until the 'Auto-clean' setting is enabled.

User reviews
This seems to be the only extension I have come across that actually effectively performs this specific function, so, alongside it's thorough user control, it's a shame to see the recent appearances of the browser's 'loss of support' warning dialogue box. However I do now see in the overview text above that the developer themselves state that support may not be available for browser 'variants'... perhaps checking out their GitHub page will offer insight necessary for moving forward with their product despite aforementioned shenanigans.
Good Extention works as expected Thx fo devs
La preferisco rispetto ad altre, spero però che sistemate queste " best practice" di chrome perché altrimenti smetterà di funzionare.
