Is there a script or something that will delete my browser's cookies after it is closed that allows me to add exceptions for certain sites (so those cookies won't be deleted).
E.g.: It deletes all cookies, but if www.facebook.com is an exception, it'll leave those.

Can't you define that in most of the browsers today?
And/or shouldn't that be in an addon/tool/plugin for the browser in case the browser can't do it, instead of in an IM client?

2. Set Firefox will: to Use custom settings for history.
3. From the Keep until menu, select the I close Firefox.
If you want to grant sites you trust the ability to store cookies permanently (e.g., to allow you to log in automatically to a site), click Exceptions…, enter the site address, and click Allow.

Thanks, worked like a charm.
