Clear private data on exit - why also explicitly allowed cookies?
"Clear private data on exit" also deletes cookies from explicitly allowed domains. If a domain has been explicitly allowed to set cookies, it would seem logical to not delete its cookies via the "Clear private data on exit" feature. Am I reasoning correctly?

Thank you for the nudge, Seburo. Following some regular usage and a double-check, the discovery mentioned above seems to do the trick. But hopefully the way the features work will be made less confusing in the future.

I discovered that History management overrides Cookies and Site Data management.
Privacy & Security > History > Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings must not be activated and set to clear Cookies. Let the Cookies and Site Data > "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" feature do the clearing instead. The allowed list will then be preserved.
For DuckDuckGo, preserving the settings between sessions also requires History management to not automatically delete Site Preferences.
