Ok. You have example.com
This website contains cookies from the domain itself and bunch of third-party such as google analytics, etc. If you allow example.com cookies without a checkbox, you only allow cookies from that domain, even if they are presented as third-party. But these will only be the example.com cookies. If you check this box, you allow domain cookies and all these trackers located on example.com with different domains.
This is how I understand this checkbox.
Let's look at a different angle.
There is an option to enable all cookies and an option to block third-party.
If you don't allow the use of cookies, you can use the “allow list” to allow certain cookies.
If you allow all cookies and don't block third-party, then "allow list" doesn't make any sense, you already allow everything.
If you allow all cookies and block third-party, then "allow list" may give you the ability to allow certain third-party cookies, since you only block third-party cookies.
About "clear cookies". In the first place you can clear a few but save many, in the second you can clear all but save a few. I think that's the difference.
Sorry if my English is bad. I tried my best.

Thank you, that's very helpful.
Your English is fine,
I needed that different angle 🙂
now I'm doing this
and I added sites I frequently visit to the Allow list, with the checkbox to allow 3rd party cookies of certain websites.
everything is working as expected now.
I can log into YouTube, which saves Google cookies on my computer, and then I go to Reddit but the site no longer offers me to create an account with Google, because Reddit no longer reads Google cookies on my browser.
