[Feat]: callable method of removing cookies, like a performAutoclearCookies function

[timkrins]

Description

I want to run a callback that will remove cookies after every navigation etc, to ensure any rogue cookies set even after initial consent change are deleted.

In my own fork I was exposing the functionality of the old autoclearCookies function, and calling this. This function is now autoclearCookiesHelper, but is not exported.

Would there be a current alternative, or would you be open to a PR that adds this somehow?

Proposed solution

Export the autoclearCookiesHelper function, or export a helpers object such as helpers: { autoclearCookiesHelper } for advanced usage.

Or

Export a performAutoclearCookies function that calls autoclearCookiesHelper(true).

Hmm... maybe I could use a workaround such as calling CookieConsent.validConsent() && CookieConsent.acceptCategory(CookieConsent.getUserPreferences().acceptedCategories) in my callback...

[timkrins]

Nope, that workaround doesn't work, as isFirstConsent, categoriesWereChanged and servicesWereChanged are all false.
