"Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" as a pref in mozilla.cfg?

Hi Community!

I'm looking for a way to de-/active Firefox' privacy option "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" via mozilla.cfg on Windows clients. Does anyone know the name of the pref-entry to it? Or is there none? I've researching for quite some time now but was only able to find prefs for Firefox' history option "Clear history..." which resolves to privacy.clearOnShutdown.* in about:config.

We're planning to move to GPOs but haven't made the transition yet.

Thanks in advance for reading my thread and best regards from Solingen, Germany.

Well... it's seems I've been blind. There's a pref called "network.cookie.lifetimePolicy" and it does the trick for me! *yay*
