[edit: the shorter version is: "I would like a cookie whitelist"]
I'd like a way to clear history and cookies, while still keeping select cookies such as login cookies from trusted sites. CCleaner offers this for a few browsers (not Edge Chromium yet), but it would be nicer if Edge could do this natively.
It would be extra fantastic if Edge could recognize likely login cookies (e.g. cookies set right after a user successfully uses the stored passwords list) and suggest to the user to keep those.

Hi,
You can clear cookies separately without clearing history. you can do it in the Edge insider settings, privacy section
Also, you can see individual cookies and delete them one by one if you don't want to delete all of them.
you can do so from here:
I'm doing it on Edge insider Canary Version 79.0.287.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
if you are using a different channel such as Beta and Dev, you have to wait for this update to be pushed to those channels.
P.S deleting cookies one by one won't ask you for confirmation, so it is the same as having check boxes next to each cookie (like in ccleaner), you won't have to do any extra clicks. clicking once is the same for selecting and deleting a cookie.
hope that helps :)

I totally agree.
There needs to be a way to preserve cookies from deletion (either manual deletion or auto deletion on close).
Some extensions make use of cookies and it is a hassle if you set Edge to autodelete on close and those extension cookies are gone.
Manually deleting cookies one by one is not a solution.
