From #5437 (comment):

We will implement individual cookie clearing soon but not before 1.0.

I'm setting the milestone to 1.0 for now.

If you look at Vanilla Cookie Manager for Chrome you'll see a good set of functions for a basic cookie management system.

Whitelist
Blacklist
Auto-delete for non-whitelisted cookiss after a short time passes.
Import - export or better sync of the settings to other copies of Brave would be great.

Might be worth changing from just "cookies" to "cookies and local data" as removing unwanted data files is becoming more and more aggravating.

  1. Make everything work by default by accepting all cookies and local data. Basically do nothing by default but install and show the tool's icon.

  2. Have an optional timer that will remove cookies, local data or both after a user chosen time. Use the following options to decide what to remove.

  3. Whitelist by site for cookies and/or data at a minimum, list by individual cookie would be better so you could save a login or show newsletter subscribe type cookie but wipe any tracking ones.

  4. Blocklist by site for a site's cookies and data to never allow. Individual cookie / data blocking would be better.

  5. Sync to multiple computers.

  6. Have an option to do cleanup based on the settings on Brave start, a shutdown time cleanup can fail due to the OS ending Brave early.

The cookie management issue is keeping me from using Brave as my default browser or recommending it to non-technical users. Several key sites I and my local friends all access multiple times per day are unusable in Brave after a few visits due to them having counter cookies. Yes I have an SQL script to clean the cookies but it is aggravating to have to close my five or six open browser windows to run it and then re-open them. No way I'm trying to explain that script to my wife or mother.

Some findings, if at all relevant. I was experiencing this issue for ages until I tried this...

Case: Some sites were not saving settings, such as YouTube (sign-in, darkmode).
Spec: Problem with cookies file or config.

Try #1 - FAIL: Delete cookie & cookie journal file, restart.
Try #2 - SUCCESS: View website; Open Shields panel; Change Block 3rd Party to Allow All

OPTIONAL (not recommended): Change Brave Shields default cookies setting from Block 3rd Party to Allow All.

Theory: Since the the YT authentication is via Google and not YouTube, the cookie could well likely be a 3rd Party one.
