How can I efficiently delete all cookies, continuously, except certain session cookies in certain specific containers ? (lemmy.ml)

I need fine grained, automated cookie controls I have tried these addons

Cookie Manager Cookie Quick Manager Cookie AutoDelete

And the problem is always the same.

It is TOO DIFFICULT to only have one exception for one cookie in one account container

Creating containers for every single website is also extremely tedious and buggy.

And deleting all cookies all the time, means I am re-logging in into everything all the time, often a 5 to 10 step process not counting 2 factor and it is VERY annoying

Not sure if I fully follow what you want. But for my use case, I have something similar with cookie auto delete extension and container tabs.

The extension (not firefox) is set to auto delete everything by default. And then I can add a website-container pair to the extension's allow list and it just works

The only difference I can think of is that I don't bother with individual cookies, rather within the container, all the cookies from the particular website are allowed

Last I checked cookie auto delete I was not able to set say preserve cookies for example.com and only in the example container. Are you sure if you go in another container, those cookies will get deleted ?

Here is an example page

And I think for facebook the session cookies are

c_user
datr

In the settings for CAD, there's a checkbox to enable support for container tabs. Have you selected that? It's under extension options

Ah !! Yes !

I think this is it !!!

Now I just need to figure out the session cookie name for every website, but at least it is possible !!

Nice!

Personally, I allow list all the cookies since the session cookie already identifies me anyway. So I don't see much point in the hassle of going more granular at the cookie level
