Bug? Box is checked but cookies tarry.
Options / Privacy & Security // Cookies and Site Data: Box is checked: "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed". I close Firefox. Checking Task Manager, it is indeed closed. Open Firefox again. Cookies are still there. Websites still have me logged in.
Looks like a bug to me. It worked in 66.0.1
Firefox Quantum 66.0.4 (64 bit) running on Windows 8.1

I assume that you do not have an allow cookie exception for these domains?
Are you closing tabs with pages for these website? If tabs are open when you close Firefox then Firefox stores its cookies as part of session data in the sessionstore.js file and restores them on next starts. This pref controls this behavior.
- browser.sessionstore.privacy_level

Well, that was fast, thanks.
I have no exceptions set up to preserve cookies for any site.
I have tried various scenarios involving multiple tabs / single tab and the more I try the more confusing it gets. I cannot currently duplicate the problem.
I notice that this version has another behavior that has changed from 66.0.1 -- home page v. blank works different.
The pref & link you provide now opens up yet more variables.
I recommend we wait on this until either I figure out how to duplicate it or somebody else complains.
There are these two prefs on the about:config page to set the startup page.
- browser.startup.blankWindow = false
- browser.startup.page = 1
The latter is set via the startup setting in "Options/Preferences -> General", but setting the pref gives more choices.

[0:blank; 1:home page; 2: last visited page; 3:restore previous session]
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
