Websites listed as Exceptions have their cookies and site data wiped on Firefox close

Remy

I have 'Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox' enabled. In the list of exceptions, I have many website listed, most of which work (such as 'crucnyroll.com'), however I am having issues with certain sites, in this case 'bandcamp.com' and 'the-trackr.com'. When closing and reopening Firefox, the rest of my Exceptions retain Cookies and Site data fine, but these two websites specifically seem to ignore the rule. I have tried disabling all my extensions, changing settings around, and reading through the 'about:config' page but couldn't find anything which would resolve this issue. I have things setup this way to prevent tracking from random forums, blog posts and the kind, but can only seem to resolve this issue by re-enabling cookies for all websites. Any and all help is appreciated, and thank you in advance.

Is it possible these sites use different domains for their account session? (So you'd need to figure out what else to add, potentially by checking the manage list shortly after signing in, to see what origins got added in the process…)

Or you can basically see a number of cookies set for "bandcamp.com" present in the manage list before shutting down, and all of them gone for this host after restarting?

As far as I'm aware, all login occurs at 'https://bandcamp.com/login'. Therefore there shouldn't be any redirects to other web domains.

And Yes. When I login to Bandcamp, I can see multiple cookies at the '.bandcamp.com' domain (as shown in the attached picture). When exitting and restarting Firefox, the cookies are either removed, or their values are changed (to assumedly default values).

I've also attached a picture of the console after a fresh boot. Note: I do have uBlock Origin turned back on.
