The idea of it sounds good, but websites nowadays have lots of APIs to store information in your device, and Cookie AutoDelete doesn't delete all of them, which renders it completely pointless in my opinion. Eventually what I did was configure my browser so it removes all cookies every time I quit it, which is more or less once a day. Also, I blocked third party cookies.

You can check the Application -> Storage tab of developer options and you will see that it does not remove everything.

Deletes everything for me. Maybe you haven't configured it correctly
