I enabled "Cookies und Websitedaten beim Beenden von Chromium löschen"
(Delete Cookies and Web Site Data when exiting Chromium).

Still, after quitting and restarting Chromium, the list of sites with
stored Cookies and other information under "Alle Cookies und
Websitedaten anzeigen" (Show all Cookies and Web Site Data) is huge.

I expect it to be empty after a restart, except for maybe some specific
white-listed Cookies.
