Used to go with I still don't care about cookies but heard it can default to accepting more cookies than needed

Open the Application Menu (the three lines next to the puzzle piece) > Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Click the Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed box > Done

Thanks! I wrote that when on mobile, so I didn't think to add instructions 😅. Also, if the user needs to allow some cookies, they can be set at Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Manage Exceptions.
