How can I efficiently delete all cookies, continuously, except certain session cookies in certain specific containers ? (lemmy.ml)

I need fine grained, automated cookie controls I have tried these addons

Cookie Manager Cookie Quick Manager Cookie AutoDelete

And the problem is always the same.

It is TOO DIFFICULT to only have one exception for one cookie in one account container

Creating containers for every single website is also extremely tedious and buggy.

And deleting all cookies all the time, means I am re-logging in into everything all the time, often a 5 to 10 step process not counting 2 factor and it is VERY annoying

Imagine website example.com

example.com, has a overly tedious login process, with a separate pageload for the username/email and then for the password, and then the second factor and then a captcha.

Worse, I have a different example.com account for their service A, their service B and their service C

Currently, every time I restart my browser, I have to go into each account container, load example.com, login into each of the containers

Every, single, browser restart

I don't know what the session cookies for example.com are named or if they change

I cannot really avoid using example.com, but I also don't like them, they are a fundamental part of my workflow, they have no real competitors as they have all driven them out of business thanks to their growth hacking blitzscaling strategy.

I want to, as far as possible, delete all their cookies on an ongoing basis, except for the session cookies, not even just after browser restart but after a period of inactivity as well.
