[Feature request] Add cache data option about historycleaner HOT 4 OPEN

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not entirely sure that this would fit within the scope of the extension. Cookies are a decent bit more complicated to deal with than history. Cookies are tied to sites, and don't have ages. Because of that, "Deleting cookies older than X days" isn't something that can be done, AFAIK.

The extension maybe could delete cookies, cache, etc. associated with a site once it is entirely deleted from history. I think if cookie support gets added to this extension, that would probably be the way that makes the most sense with how it works currently.

Have you tried using something like the extension Cookie AutoDelete? I think it has the features you're asking for (clearing cookies, cache, LocalStorage, etc.), and the way it works is probably more effective than cleaning cookies after X days, or tying deleting cookies to deleting history items would be.

I think that would be helpful, as otherwise the cache is filled with gigabytes of cookies for websites that I've not visited in months. Or, in ff settings, you can see when any cookie was last used. If there's an API for it, clear based on that?

This extension seems to have accomplished it, would it be possible now or is still out of the scope? https://github.com/svandragt/freshcookies
